How to use preg_replace

[doc1355]

Hi:

I have file a.csv that contains multiple columns and data. I want to replace all "</br>" tags in file a.csv with "<br />" and then save it to file b.csv

 

I am using the following code but it is not working:

 

<?

// File to open
$file = 'a.csv';

// Search and Replace Arrays
$search = array('</br>');
$replace = array('<br />');

// Open the file
$lines = file($file);

// Read through the file
foreach($lines as $line_num => $line) {
    $text = preg_replace($search, $replace, $line);
}

// Save the file
$save = $text->save ("b.csv");

?>

in that case, since u have specific variable, try:

$text = str_replace($search, $replace, $line);

Ok, I'm using this code:

 

<?

// File to open
$file = 'a.csv';

// Search and Replace Arrays
$search = array('</br>');
$replace = array('<br />');

// Open the file
$lines = file($file);

// Read through the file
foreach($lines as $line_num => $line) {
    $text = str_replace($search, $replace, $line);
}

// Save the file
$save = $text->save ("b.csv");

?> 

 

and I'm getting this error:

 

Fatal error: Call to a member function save() on a non-object in C:\localhost\test\process\replace.php on line 18

 

Apperantly the save function is not working.

I think is the problem saving the file, ??? but I am not sure about these functions,
