[SOLVED] manipulating string.

spider661 · July 10, 2008

i always have a problem manipulating string and i need to do some for a website im working on. so i was wondering if anyone could help me out?

i want to take a string and strip parts of it out and then post them parts.. would be helpful if it could make them a new variable usable on other pages also but thats not important i really just need to strip the info out.

i have this code to get the string

fConnect($fp,$Server,$Port,$user,$pass);

       		fputs ($fp, "who\r"); 
	usleep(125000);


       			while (!feof($fp))
		{
       			$ret = fgets($fp);
			if (ereg("zone", $ret)) {
			echo "$ret \n <br>";
			}
       				if  (ereg("online", $ret)){
           				echo "$ret \n";
			fclose($fp);
			break;
       				}
		}

and it returns a string that looks like this

[72 Stone Fist] Yuari (Iksar) zone: gfaydark AccID: 298 AccName: Flora LSID: 110561 Status: 0
[72 Soothsayer] Kefus (Iksar) zone: qrg AccID: 307 AccName: Nerine LSID: 110954 Status: 0
[74 Wildblood] Tigger (Vah Shir) zone: gukbottom AccID: 244 AccName: harkenus2 LSID: 112355 Status: 0
3 players online

first part the numbers i need thats there level and needs to go in a table under the title level next part (on first line its) stone fist, i need that its there class and needs to go under class next part is there name yuari and that needs to go under name. next part iskar is there class and needs to go under class. and the final part is gfaydark and its there zone and needs to go under zone.

and thats everything i need so when looking at the output on a website i would like it to make a table and read like so

Name level class race zone

Yuari 72 stone fist iskar gfaydark

then the next person and so on till no more.

can anyone help me with this?

ok i got something working here

useing this code

function substring_between($haystack,$start,$end) {
    if (strpos($haystack,$start) === false || strpos($haystack,$end) === false) {
        return false;
    } else {
        $start_position = strpos($haystack,$start)+strlen($start);
        $end_position = strpos($haystack,$end);
        return substr($haystack,$start_position,$end_position-$start_position);
    }
}

i did this

fConnect($fp,$Server,$Port,$user,$pass);

       		fputs ($fp, "who\r"); 
	usleep(125000);

echo '<center><table border="4" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="4" ALIGN="CENTER">
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Race</th>
<th>Level/Class</th>
<th>Zone</th>
</tr>';
       			while (!feof($fp))
		{
       			$ret = fgets($fp);
			if (ereg("zone", $ret)) {
			$name = substring_between($ret, '] ', ' (');
			$race = substring_between($ret, '(', ')');
			$level = substring_between($ret, '[', ']');
			$zone = substring_between($ret, 'zone: ', ' AccID:');
			echo "<tr>
			<td class='smalltable'>
			$name
			</td>
			<td class='smalltable'>
			$race
			</td>
			<td class='smalltable'>
			$level
			</td>
			<td class='smalltable'>
			$zone
			</td>								
			</tr>";								
			//echo "$ret1 \n <br>";
			}
       				if  (ereg("online", $ret)){
           				echo "$ret \n";
			fclose($fp);
			break;
       				}
		}

echo '</table><center>';

and it outputs a table that looks like this

Name                Race                   Level/Class                    Zone 
Irun                High Elf                75 Arch Magus                delveb  
Southern         Wood Elf              ANNON 75 Natureguard      butcher  

2 players online

now thats great but i would like to split up Level/Class and take out annon if its there and then put lvl and class in a diff row.

the problem is the function above will not take a space as $start or $end..

anyone got any suggestions?

try

print_r($out);
?>

dont think it worked but looks close to what i want but i think there all blank

this is what it printed out

Array ( [0] => Array ( ) [level] => Array ( ) [1] => Array ( ) [class] => Array ( ) [2] => Array ( ) [name] => Array ( ) [3] => Array ( ) [race] => Array ( ) [4] => Array ( ) [zone] => Array ( ) [5] => Array ( ) ) Array ( [0] => Array ( ) [level] => Array ( ) [1] => Array ( ) [class] => Array ( ) [2] => Array ( ) [name] => Array ( ) [3] => Array ( ) [race] => Array ( ) [4] => Array ( ) [zone] => Array ( ) [5] => Array ( ) ) Array ( [0] => Array ( ) [level] => Array ( ) [1] => Array ( ) [class] => Array ( ) [2] => Array ( ) [name] => Array ( ) [3] => Array ( ) [race] => Array ( ) [4] => Array ( ) [zone] => Array ( ) [5] => Array ( ) )

also wanted to note that

$ret = '[72 Stone Fist] Yuari (Iksar) zone: gfaydark AccID: 298 AccName: Flora LSID: 110561 Status: 0

[72 Soothsayer] Kefus (Iksar) zone: qrg AccID: 307 AccName: Nerine LSID: 110954 Status: 0

[74 Wildblood] Tigger (Vah Shir) zone: gukbottom AccID: 244 AccName: harkenus2 LSID: 112355 Status: 0

3 players online';

is not always that.. it changes each time i call it but the format is the same doing the preg_match_all the way you posted it worked but when i loaded it with the ret from my code then i got that output above.

i got it working the way i want above i just need to split the level class and take out annon if its there before the level

it could look like ether/or and i need it to take out annon and split 75 and Arch Magus or whatever it may be into 2 diff strings i can use in the table

[annon 75 Arch Magus]

[75 Arch Magus]

DarkerAngel · July 11, 2008

<?php
$ret = "[annon 75 Arch Magus] Yuari (Iksar) zone: gfaydark AccID: 298 AccName: Flora LSID: 110561 Status: 0
[72 Soothsayer] Kefus (Iksar) zone: qrg AccID: 307 AccName: Nerine LSID: 110954 Status: 0
[74 Wildblood] Tigger (Vah Shir) zone: gukbottom AccID: 244 AccName: harkenus2 LSID: 112355 Status: 0
3 players online";
$array = explode("\n", $ret);
$roster = array();
$i = 1;
foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
if(preg_match("#\[([0-9]+) ([a-zA-z ]+)\] ([a-zA-Z]+) \(([a-zA-Z ]+)\) zone: ([a-zA-Z]+)#", $value, $out) || preg_match("#\[[a-zA-Z]+ ([0-9]+) ([a-zA-z ]+)\] ([a-zA-Z]+) \(([a-zA-Z ]+)\) zone: ([a-zA-Z]+)#", $value, $out)) {
	$roster[$i] = array("name" => $out[3], "level" => $out[1], "class" => $out[3], "race" => $out[4], "zone" => $out[5]);
	$i++;
}
}
echo("<pre>");
print_r($roster);
echo("</pre>");
?>

It's a little bit over coded but it works with the results,

Currently it will output:

Array
(
    [1] => Array
        (
            [name] => Yuari
            [level] => 75
            [class] => Yuari
            [race] => Iksar
            [zone] => gfaydark
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [name] => Kefus
            [level] => 72
            [class] => Kefus
            [race] => Iksar
            [zone] => qrg
        )

    [3] => Array
        (
            [name] => Tigger
            [level] => 74
            [class] => Tigger
            [race] => Vah Shir
            [zone] => gukbottom
        )

)

Also it does the anomaly check in case of [annon 75 Arch Magus]

ok for the life of me I cant figure out y but this works and does exactly what i wanted.

is there a better way to do it though or should i just stick with whats working?

       			while (!feof($fp))
		{
       			$ret = fgets($fp);
			if (ereg("zone", $ret)) {
			$array = explode("status:", $ret);
			$roster = array();
			$i = 1;
			foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
				if(preg_match("#\[([0-9]+) ([a-zA-z ]+)\] ([a-zA-Z]+) \(([a-zA-Z ]+)\) zone: ([a-zA-Z]+)#", $value, $out) || preg_match("#\[[a-zA-Z]+ ([0-9]+) ([a-zA-z ]+)\] ([a-zA-Z]+) \(([a-zA-Z ]+)\) zone: ([a-zA-Z]+)#", $value, $out)) {
				//$roster[$i] = array("name" => $out[3], "level" => $out[1], "class" => $out[2], "race" => $out[4], "zone" => $out[5]);
				$i++;
				}
			}
			$name = $out[3];
			$race = $out[4];
			$level = $out[1];
			$class = $out[2];
			$zone = $out["5"];

it seems part of the problem was the explode /n is not there becuase there is no next line its all output on the same line. so i picked something closer to the end status: as for the array i really don't understand whats going on there so if someone would like to explain it i would love that but if not its cool.. anyways this is what i got.

i was given this on another forum that deals more with the server im trying to get the info from but there is a bu in it can someone see if they can find the problem.

foreach ($ret as $key => $value){
    // GM Status
    if (preg_match("/\*.*\*/", $value, $matches)){
        $players[$key][GM] = trim($matches[0], "* ");
    }
    // Role/Anon, Level, & Class
    if (preg_match("/\[.*\]/", $value, $matches)){
        $tmp = explode(" ", trim($matches[0], "[] "));
        if (!is_numeric($tmp[0])){
            $players[$key][Visible] = $tmp[0];
            $players[$key][Level] = $tmp[1];
            $players[$key]["Class"] = rtrim($tmp[2] . " " . $tmp[3], " ");
        }else{
            $players[$key][Level] = $tmp[0];
            $players[$key]["Class"] = rtrim($tmp[1] . " " . $tmp[2], " ");
        }
    }
    // Character's Name
    if (preg_match("/\].*\(/", $value, $matches)){
        $players[$key][Name] = trim($matches[0], "] (");
    }
    // Race
    if (preg_match("/\(.*\)/", $value, $matches)){
        $players[$key][Race] = trim($matches[0], "( )");
    }
    // Zone
    if (preg_match("/zone:.*AccID:/", $value, $matches)){
        $players[$key][ZoneLong] = substr($matches[0], 6, -7);
    }
    // Account ID
    if (preg_match("/AccID:.*AccName:/", $value, $matches)){
        $players[$key][AcctID] = substr($matches[0], 7, -9);
    }
    // Account Name
    if (preg_match("/AccName:.*LSID:/", $value, $matches)){
        $players[$key][AcctName] = substr($matches[0], 9, -6);
    }
    // Login Server ID
    if (preg_match("/LSID:.*Status:/", $value, $matches)){
        $players[$key][LSID] = substr($matches[0], 6, -;
    }
    // Status
    if (preg_match("/Status:.*/", $value, $matches)) {
        $players[$key][status] = substr($matches[0], 8, 3);
    }
}

i called print_r($players); to try to list the array so i could see what the values where to post it all in my table and it gave an error for each player online that sayed

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in E:\wamp\www\who.php on line 46

line 46 is foreach ($ret as $key => $value){
