Hi guys,

I have a script that extracts numbers from a .txt file.. but it list the numbers in these formats

087-9850714
(087) 9850714
(087)9850714
087 9850714
0879850714

Is there anyway of changing these numbers and putting them all in this format

0879850714
0879850714
0879850714
0879850714
0879850714

Try this, it'll strip out everything but the numbers:

$data = preg_replace("/[^0-9]/",'', $data);

ok thanks

Im not too familier with php

could you tell me what lines to put this on please?

[wirehopper]

Try sed

sed "s/[^0-9]//" file.txt > newfile.txt

You might also want to use sort, then uniq - like so:

sort newfile.txt|uniq

Ok thanks for your reply

Where abouts do i put this code.. inside the loop?
or do i remove the php code that is already in it?

Excuse me kevinkhan, but did you ever stop to think that we haven't seen your code
and you are asking us to tell you something as if we know your code?

Maybe if you would stop and think a little, you might realize that we can't answer your question unless you show us your code.

Put it on line 13.
