need help extracting content from a txt file on my computer

[kevinkhan]

Hi ya..

Im looking for some php logic to read all information from a number of txt files and put the information into a string so that i can parse emails and phone numbers out of the txt files..

 

the location of the txt files on my computer are here..

C:\Users\kevin\Documents\My Scans\scan0001.txt

 

and i want to be able to put all the content of each txt file (no matter how many is there) into a string...

 

The files are always named like this

 

scan0001.txt

scan0002.txt

scan0003.txt

 

etc...

 

 

Hope some one can help

 

Thanks

try this

 

$fole=file_get_contents('C:\\Users\\kevin\\Documents\\My Scans\\scan0001.txt');
echo $fole;

ok this worked but now im trying to extract all information in each of the files and put them into one variable...

 

How would i go about setting up this array/loop?

try some thing like this

$value="C:\\Users\\kevin\\Documents\\My Scans\\scan";
for($i=1;$i<=130;$i++)
{
    if($i>=100)
    {
        echo $value.'0'.$i.".txt<br>";
    }
    elseif($i>=10)
    {
        echo $value.'00'.$i.".txt<br>";
    }
    else
    {
        echo $value.'000'.$i.".txt<br>";
    }
    
}

    {
        echo $value.'00'.$i.".txt<br>";
    }
    else
    {
        echo $value.'000'.$i.".txt<br>";
    }
    
}

 

ok thats kind of cool..

 

but just as a matter of interest, what if there was only 2 files in the folder.. one was called scan0001.txt and the other was called scann0004.txt file.. how would this work then...

 

and how do i put all the content of each of these files into a variable?

for this one i cannot do anything..

u have to check the files before..

 

and how do i put all the content of each of these files into a variable?

 

for this what u need to do is that instead of echo

use some thing like this

 

$value="C:\\Users\\kevin\\Documents\\My Scans\\scan";
//echo $fole."<br>";

for($i=1;$i<=130;$i++)
{
    if($i>=100)
    {
        $val1=$value.'0'.$i.".txt<br>";
        $fole .= file_get_contents($val1);
    }
    elseif($i>=10)
    {
        $val2=$value.'00'.$i.".txt<br>";
        $fole .= file_get_contents($val2);
    }
    else
    {
        
        $val3=$value.'000'.$i.".txt<br>";
        $fole .= file_get_contents($val3);
    }
    
}
echo "File====><br> ".$fole;
?>
