Right, I'll drop you straight in it. I have about 2000 .txt files that look like the below code

[code]<?
$music = $_GET['send'];

if (strpos($music, "2diealbum1"))  {
$song = "2diealbum/songs/2diealbum/2diealbum1.wma";
$songdisplay = "2die4 - Paranoid Entity";
}

else if (strpos($music, "2diealbum2"))  {
$song = "2diealbum/songs/2diealbum/2diealbum2.wma";
$songdisplay = "2die4 - Hell On Earth";
}

else if (strpos($music, "2diealbum3"))  {
$song = "2diealbum/songs/2diealbum/2diealbum3.wma";
$songdisplay = "2die4 - Im Ok";
}

else if (strpos($music, "2diealbum4"))  {
$song = "2diealbum/songs/2diealbum/2diealbum4.wma";
$songdisplay = "2die4 - Reminissin";
}

else if (strpos($music, "2diealbum5"))  {
$song = "2diealbum/songs/2diealbum/2diealbum5.wma";
$songdisplay = "2die4 - Listen To Your Heart";
}

else if (strpos($music, "2diealbum6"))  {
$song = "2diealbum/songs/2diealbum/2diealbum6.wma";
$songdisplay = "2die4 - Take It Slow";
}

else if (strpos($music, "2diealbum7"))  {
$song = "2diealbum/songs/2diealbum/2diealbum7.wma";
$songdisplay = "2die4 - Do Ya Like That";
}

else if (strpos($music, "2diealbum8"))  {
$song = "2diealbum/songs/2diealbum/2diealbum8.wma";
$songdisplay = "2die4 - Just The Begining";
}

else if (strpos($music, "2diealbum9"))  {
$song = "2diealbum/songs/2diealbum/2diealbum9.wma";
$songdisplay = "2die4 - Put Em Down";
}

else if (strpos($music, "2diealbuma"))  {
$song = "2diealbum/songs/2diealbum/2diealbuma.wma";
$songdisplay = "2die4 - Earths Condition";
}

else if (strpos($music, "2diealbumb"))  {
$song = "2diealbum/songs/2diealbum/2diealbumb.wma";
$songdisplay = "2die4 - By My Side";
}

else if (strpos($music, "2diealbumc"))  {
$song = "2diealbum/songs/2diealbum/2diealbumc.wma";
$songdisplay = "2die4 - I Needed You";
}

else if (strpos($music, "2diealbumd"))  {
$song = "2diealbum/songs/2diealbum/2diealbumd.wma";
$songdisplay = "2die4 - Its Ok To Cry";
}

else if (strpos($music, "2diealbume"))  {
$song = "2diealbum/songs/2diealbum/2diealbume.wma";
$songdisplay = "2die4 - Easy Lover";
}

else if (strpos($music, "2diealbumf"))  {
$song = "2diealbum/songs/2diealbum/2diealbumf.wma";
$songdisplay = "2die4 - Throw It Up";
}

else if (strpos($music, "2diealbumg"))  {
$song = "2diealbum/songs/2diealbum/2diealbumg.wma";
$songdisplay = "2die4 - Me In General";
}

else if (strpos($music, "2diealbumh"))  {
$song = "2diealbum/songs/2diealbum/2diealbumh.wma";
$songdisplay = "2die4 - Catch A Breath";
}

else if (strpos($music, "2diealbumi"))  {
$song = "2diealbum/songs/2diealbum/2diealbumi.wma";
$songdisplay = "2die4 - It Aint Easy";
}

else  if (strpos($music, "2diealbumplay")) {
$song = "2diealbum/songs/2diealbum/2diealbumplay.wax";
$songdisplay = "2die4 - Complete Album";


?>[/code]


I am going to create a script that will loop and read in the entire contents of each .txt file

Then, I need to dig out the following information from each else if. Ive put the information I need in BOLD

else if (strpos($music, "[b]2diealbumi[/b]"))  {
$song = "[b]2diealbum/songs/2diealbum/2diealbumi.wma[/b]";
$songdisplay = "[b]2die4 - It Aint Easy[/b]";
}

What is the best way to do this. Its a bit messy but how would you do it?

P.S, its not the loop on stuck with, its the handling of the data

If it's garaunteed that the data you need is [b]always[/b] enclosed in double quotes and that it [b]always[/b] appears in that order, you can follow this algorithm:

1) Open file
2) Using a regular expression, fill an array with all data enclosed in double quotes only
3) With the array
  a) Starting at index 0, every third element comes from the line containing [b]strpos[/b]
  b) Starting at index 1, every third element comes from the line containing [b]$song =[/b]
  c) Starting at index 2, every third element comes from the line containing [b]$songdisplay =[/b]

All it takes is for one body of the if / else if construct to assign variables out of order to ruin that approach though.
