whitespace

[Destramic]

hey guys this script below will load a document file...txt, ini, ctf etc...but if the file has a new line from (whitespace) its not finding it...im using

 

	if (preg_match('\S', $i) == false)

 

if that is the correct way to find a new line/white space within a txt document

 

if someone could tell me what im doing wrong please

    function read($file_name)
{
	$this->_file_name = $file_name;
	$file             = fopen($this->_file_name, 'r');

    while ($i = fgets($file))
    {
    	if (preg_match('\S', $i) == false)
    	{
      		preg_match('/^(.*?)=(.*?)$/', $i, $found);
        	$this->_values[$found[1]] = $found[2];
      	}
    }
    
    fclose($file);	
    print_r($this->_values);
}

basically my test file looks like this and the break is being read by my loop if anyone can please help

 

host         = localhost
username = destramic
password = test
database = test
; this space here is being read by my loop
developement = true

Maybe use file instead. File load each line into an array, Eg

$lines = file('file.txt');

$lines[0] will be line1 $lines[1] will be line 2 etc. You can loop through the lines with a foreach loop

$lines = file($this->_file_name);
foreach($lines as $line)
{
    // skip lines with spaces
    if(trim($line) == '')
        continue;

    preg_match('/^(.*?)=(.*?)$/', $line, $found);
    $this->_values[$found[1]] = $found[2];

    print_r($this->_values);
}

thanks wildteen88 i got it working now with

 

if (!preg_match('/^\s*$/', $i))

 

now the one other problem i have with the script is that  this line

preg_match('/^(.*?)=(.*?)$/', $i, $found);

 

will read spaces

 

so say for instance this line in the .cfg file is like

 

host      = localhost

 

then it will read the white spaces if they can be removed?

this is the output of the array....you can see the whitespaces

 

[developement_enviroment ] =>  true
    [mysql_host          ] =>  localhost
    [mysql_username      ] =>  root
    [mysql_password      ] =>  test
    [mysql_database_name ] =>  test
    [autoload_ignore_directorys[] ] =>  .htaccess

use trim on $found[1] variable.
