As an alternative, you could try this:
<?
$wolfID = "43";
$data = file_get_contents($filename);
$line = explode("\n",$data);
for($i=0;$i<count($line);$i++) {
$field = explode(",",$line[$i]); // Replace the comma with your separator.
$match = str_replace("'",'',str_replace('"','',$field[0])); //
Strip quotes, if they exist.
if($match == $wolfID) {
echo $line[$i]."\n";
}
}
?>
