[SOLVED] string a != b ?

[Minase]

i run into this weird problem

here is my code

$input = file_get_contents("test.txt");

preg_match('/Battle Report (.*)Report details/s', $input, $overal);
$overall = $overal[1];

preg_match('/Vitality\n(\S{1,25}) (.*) (.*)/', $overall, $attacker->Dmg);
print_r($attacker->Dmg);

 

and the test.txt

Battle Report 
Name 	Hit points 	Vitality
io 	402 	12.724
tu 	29 	0
Winner: io

io captured: 46 Gold
Report details

 

if i put the above text into a string it works :| but if i read it from a file or via POST it wont

any ideas? thank you

not entirely sure what you are trying to match and having a problem with, but I would guess that when reading from a file you have to deal with newline breaks which may screw up any matching you try to do ?

thank you very much for remembering
