jcbarr Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Okay I have an array that looks like this;[code]Array( [0] => [1] => CFL, 2007 season, Week 17 [2] => CFL [3] => Retirements [4] => Arizona Wranglers [5] => Retired: [6] => Gary Irvin (P), 12 seasons [7] => Reuben Railey (CB), 11 seasons [8] => Jay Butcher (TE), 11 seasons [9] => Steve Newton (HB), 11 seasons [10] => Eric Moore (DE), 10 seasons [11] => Denver Gold [12] => Rich Masters (WR), 13 seasons [13] => Redford Wallach (P), 12 seasons [14] => David Atkins (QB), 1 season [15] => Junior Wolford (DE), 11 seasons [16] => Los Angeles Express [17] => Robert Goff (CB), 10 seasons [18] => Leonard Clifton (CB), 11 seasons [19] => Rob Fullingto (CB), 12 seasons [20] => Roy Brown (WR), 9 seasons[/code]There is a lot more to it but that should give you all the info you need. I'm creating the array with the following php code;[code=php:0]<?php$filename = "http://cfl.cbl-baseball.com/stats/2007/retire.htm";$file = file($filename);$data = array();foreach ($file as $line) { $data[] = strip_tags($line);}$result = array_unique($data);foreach ($result as $line) { $result1[] = trim($line);}echo '<pre>';print_r($result1);echo '</pre>';?>[/code]So here is what I want to do. I want remove every entry in the array that is not a player. So if the value contains the word seasons then I want to keep it, if not I want to drop it.I also want to trim everything after the players name, thus leaving an array that looks like this;[code][0] => Gary Irvin [1] => Reuben Railey [2] => Jay Butcher [3] => Steve Newton[/code]Anyone got an easy way to do this?Thanks in advance for your help.

ToonMariner Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 you will need to use the array_walk function and creata your own function that uses str_replace or similar..so something like...[code]function stripStuff (&$element, $key){ if (preg_match('/season/', $element)) $element = preg_replace('/ \((.)*+season(s)?', $element); else unset($element);}array_walk($data,'stripStuff');[/code] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/27963-array-manipulation-removing-and-trimming/#findComment-127923 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcbarr Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 I'll have to play around with that and see if I can figure it out. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
