I dont have any code formaly... not yet...
Allow me to give you a run down of what I am trying to do...
I need to use something (preferably PHP) to break down a space delimited file. my problem is I have never had any form of attempt at any thing like this..
the file would be formated like this :

Code:

 #1   0x [233M] blood.royale.01.divx521.mkv

the #$num I have seen as high as 500 as in #500
the 0x varies about the same as the #$num.
this one is the hard part [ <1M] through [723M]
the space being where I see the problem
then the last part will always be in that type of fromat... the amount of periods between the works change with file name changes...

I am just looking for a push in the correct direction into parsing this file using php, so I can then put it in a database

Code:

+-----+------+----------+---------------+
|pnum | lec  |size      | fname         |
+-----+------+----------+---------------+

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can give me.

you could use regular expressions to extract that data.

PHP Code:

<?php



$str = "#1   0x [233M] blood.royale.01.divx521.mkv";



preg_match('/^#(\d+)\s+(\d+)x\s+\[(\d+M)\]\s+(.*?)$/i', $str, $matches);



print_r($matches);



?>

since its in a file, you can use file to read the contents into an array, then use the foreach structure to iterate over each line and apply that regex, then do any necessary database inserts.

any suggestions on how to do an array using a text area?
so that the user can copy and paste it into the text area?

Code:

#1   0x [233M] blood.royale.01.divx521.mkv
#2   0x [232M] blood.royale.02.divx521.mkv

basicaly to split the text into $str per line?
