Handling exec() output

[neovox]

I have a question about handling output from exec(). 

 

I'm using exec() to run an expect script against a solaris box, with the output ($result) echoing out to the user's screen.  The information that is returned contains about 14 lines of text, however I only want to display one of these lines back to the user.

 

The script I'm using now is

 

<?
$result = null;
$cmd = "/path/script $ENT";
print"<pre>";
print"\n";
exec($cmd, $result);
for($i = 1; $i < (count($result) - 1); $i++) {
  print $result[$i] . "\n";
}
?>

 

This script returns:

 

Retrieving data... Please wait...

 

Enterprise  Name

Parameter1:  valueX

Parameter2:  valueY

<snip>

Parameter14:  valueZ

 

 

What I'd like to do is only display "Parameter2:  valueY"  for instance, instead of the entire output.

 

Thanks.

try...

<?php
  $result = null;
  $cmd = "/path/script $ENT";
  print"<pre>\n";
  exec($cmd, $result);
  foreach($result as $line) {
    if(substr($line,0,11) == 'Parameter2:')
      print "$line\n";
  }
?>

Thanks for the reply.  Using the sample you provided isn't returning anything, however, it may be due to the formatting of what is being returned. 

 

My code returns:

 

Retrieving data... Please wait...

 

Enterprise  Name

  Call Logging      =  Disabled

  Description        =  Company Name

  Intra-LATA PIC    =  NILCAC

  Inter-LATA PIC    =  NILCAC

  International PIC  =  NILCAC

  Routing profile    =  Hosting

  LCA ID            =  null

  Source ID          =  null

  SourceidForEAPrefix=  null

  Private policies  =  {voiceVPN, ExtDialing}

 

1 entry found.

 

What I'd like it to return is just the entire line "Routing profile    =  Hosting"

 

Could it be the preceding spaces that are causing the foreach not to return anything?  My foreach statement looks like this:

 

foreach($result as $line)  {
    if(substr($line,0,11) == 'Routing profile')
      print "$line\n";
}

 

I also tried it with the preceding spaces, but still got nothing back.  Thanks for the assistance.

<?php
  $search = "Routing profile"; //Set this to what you are looking for
  $result = null;
  $cmd = "/path/script $ENT";
  print"<pre>\n";
  exec($cmd, $result);
  foreach($result as $line) {
    if(strstr($line,$search) !== FALSE)
      print "$line\n";
  }
?>

rhodesa, thanks a ton.  That worked perfectly.
