cheadirl Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Hi ,I've been trying to figure this one out and I'm stumped ! I have a .csv file that contains a lot of data and is auto uploaded to a DB, problem is there is no formatting on the fields.So I have a field of this :aghahafgfhfhafgafhkafhfha </TEXT I WANT/> lsgfslgjfasghsjkldfhgsklgh </MORE TEXT I WANT/>I dont think str_replace() will work for what I want to do - Im trying to only display the text inside the </ /> out onto my site, essentially removing the unwanted stuff. I do need to keep the unwanted in the DB just not displaying it on the page ?Does anyone have any idea how I might get this to work ?ThanksCheadIRL Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/34896-removing-unwanted-text/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgiberson Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 You could use a regular expression to do this.... Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/34896-removing-unwanted-text/#findComment-164529 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheadirl Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 Sorry dont get what you mean - I've looked all over for the answer to this - I've got a script that will extract text but not multiple times ! I need it to do that .If a regular expression will do any chance you could help me out with it ?
