extracting variables from files

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi everyone, I break out in a cold sweat just thinking about regex, so I thought I'd ask you if there was an easier way to do this: I want to look through all of the files in a directory and extract a certain variable from each. This is to create a dynamic menu of the directory: The files are php scripts that assign $title (among others) to Smarty templates. I need to get $title from each file I had a look through the docs and didn't see anything obvious, which is why I'm here :-) Many thanks... - -- Nick Wilson // www.tioka.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9SEtnHpvrrTa6L5oRAuVyAJ4j4jfC4nKKni3S6V5xsmZH2xhPDQCdF7wA Y0vShZPQ1n5qZE48LIhCVyA= =DLPZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
