PHP file search, get content

[brutal318]

Hi, I'm a beginner, i had a problem about get content from file, i had searched but i can't solve my problem:

 

I have a text file (abc.txt).

It have content like this:

 

_*Chapter*_ : ... Author: aaa ( and then content .......vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv.......)

_*Chapter*_ : ... Author: bbb ( and then content .........vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv.........)

.....

and it loops like that.

 

I have a string (abcxyz) that need to find in contents.

If found it in content, print the name of the author (print all author have that content).

 

the _*Chapter*_ is unique, in content hasn't got that word, but the word Author maybe. But beetween the Chapter and the Author, hasn't another word Author.

 

 

 

Thanks a lot.

This statement contradicts itself

PS: I need someone can help me to code this. (don't send me a link to example or something etc...)

First you say this:

I need someone can help me to code this.

This isn't a problem, I've got loads of material that could help you code it.  But then you say this:

don't send me a link to example or something etc...

So is what you actually mean "Can you write it for me with me doing nothing?" 

[systemick]

HuggieBear is right. You need to do some work for yourself. I suggest you start with the PHP functions strpos and strstr

[brutal318]

I'm sorry, but i had try so many, i can't get it.

I need an example to learn.

$sum=0;

if ($fh = fopen('/var/lib/mysql/mysql-slow....','r')) {

  while (! feof($fh)) {

if(stristr($fread($fh),"Chapter")) {

 

        if (stristr($fread($fh),"Author")) {

        $name=$fread($fh);

        if(stristr($fread($fh),"content")) {

        $sum=$sum+1;

        }

        if ($sum>=1) {echo $name;}

        }

}

 

 

this is the recently file of mine.

Is the data in the text file delimited in anyway e.g. colon?

 

1:J.K. Rowling:"Well, I had one that I was playing Quidditch the other night," said Ron, screwing up his face in an effort to remember. "What do you think that means?".  "Probably that you're going to be eaten by a giant marshmallow or something," said Harry, turning the pages of The Dream Oracle without interest.

[brutal318]

the data file is only text. So what should i do?

[HuggieBear]

OK, what separates the chapter from the author and the author from the content?

[brutal318]

it's only seperate and enter beetween line.

[brutal318]

<?php

$file = fopen("/home/rock/test.txt", "r");

while (!feof($file) ) {

$line = fgets($file);

$array = explode(' ', $line);

}

$count = count($array);

$j=0;

$t=0;

for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) {

$boo=true;

while($boo){

$j++;

if($array[$j]="Author"){

$t=$j+1;

$name=$array[$t];}

if($array[$j]="content"){

echo $name;}

if($array[$i]="Chapter"){$boo=false;}

}

}

 

 

 

 

?>

 

 

can you fixed this?

[brutal318]

Hi, anyone can help me?

[HuggieBear]

If you have no standard data structure within your text file it's going to be difficult I think.  Can you edit the structure of the original text file?

[brutal318]

Hi

 

the file content:

 

Chapter jasgdjgajgsd jagsdjgasd Author class1 kjhasdy akshdhasd

lkhklhad content asdkjkflkasd

Chapter asjkdkjasdjk kjlwuroiqw Author class2 yfk23ds sadhoigfa

kjhasjdh lkhoiyr oiunv9035445

Chapter mmhjk0970973 klishhpswa Author class3 kkjhgfe content content lkhlahd

kjahsdlklaf

 

I want to print out "class1" and "class3", cause it have "content" in it's content.

[brutal318]

anyone else help me?

[HuggieBear]

Can you edit the structure of the original text file?

Is there an answer to this?

[brutal318]

i can't edit the structure.

 

<?php

$file = fopen("/home/rock/test.txt", "r");

 

while (!feof($file) ) {

$line = fgets($file);

 

$array = explode(' ', $line);

 

$count=count($array);

 

 

for ($i = 0; $i < $count-1; $i++) {

 

 

 

$sum=0;

if($array[$i]=="Author"){$name=$array[$i+1];}

if($array[$i]=="content"){$sum++;}

if($sum>0){echo $name; echo "                      ";}

 

 

 

}

}

?>

 

i had fixed this, this can be run, print, but had a problem that if the content have two "content" then it will print two author, who can help me to print only one for author?

[litebearer]

In the text file, other than the first 'Chapter', is each 'Chapter' preceded by a newline character?

[litebearer]

Try this...

 

<?PHP
$file = "test.txt";
$lines = file($file);
$x = count($lines);
for($i=0;$i<$x;$i++) {
if(stristr($lines[$i], "content")) {
	$t1 = explode("Author", $lines[$i]);
	$chapter = $t1[0];
	array_shift($t1);
	$t2 = explode("content", $t1[0]);
	$author = "Author " . $t2[0];
	array_shift($t2);
	$content = "content " . implode("content", $t2);
	echo $chapter . "<br/>";
	echo $author . "<br/>";
	echo $content . "<br/>";
	echo "<hr>";
}
}

?>

thanks a lot.

I have my code run.

<?php

$file = fopen("/home/rock/test1.txt", "r");

$post=array("");

while (!feof($file) ) {

$line = fgets($file);

 

$array = explode(' ', $line);

 

$count=count($array);

 

 

for ($i = 0; $i < $count-1; $i++) {

 

 

 

$sum=0;

if($array[$i]=="use"){$name=substr($array[$i+1],0,-2);}

if($array[$i]=="'help',"){$sum++;}

if($sum>0){

if(!in_array($name,$post)) {

array_push($post,$name);}

 

}

}

}

for ($i=0; $i<count($post);$i++) {echo $post[$i];echo "\n";}

?>
