Hi Neil,
Could you please send me the code again please? Seems
like my email client did a wibble last night and lost
all my emails. :(
Sorry about that.

Wrong. I guess you didn't read the code, the comments,
or the chapter
on
php.net about regular expression matches. Please try
again as stated,
**splitting your input text file into a series of
array elements**
using
the functions provided by PHP, and try to understand
what the code
sample
is doing, so **you** can extend it to your target.
Cheers - Neil.

What do you think the line starting 'preg_match' does
? Go look this up
in
the manual as I requested you do.

Thats what I said. Here's another pointer : go read up
on the file()
function in PHP manual.
Sorry to sound so terse, but I'm trying to help you,
not do it for you.
Else, how would you learn ?
Cheers - Neil.
