Still problem with files

Hi, Sorry for the extra emails, but I thought I had this licked, but now other problem pop up. As I said, I have a file with many lines like <Option Value="3">Alfredsson in it. I have been able to read the file into an array and display it, but I am trying to do a comparison IF statement and no matter what I try I can't figure out what to compare. To explain better here is my code so far. $filename = "players.inc"; $fd = fopen ($filename, "r"); while (!feof ($fd)) { $buffer = fgets($fd); $list[] = $buffer; } fclose ($fd); for($i = 0; $i < 131; $i++) { if($list[$i] != ????????? { echo "<BR>".htmlspecialchars($list[$i]); } } So using the example above what would I use where the question marks are if I wanted to display everything but this line - <Option Value="3">Alfredsson. I have tried a variety of ways to do this: i.e $p = "<Option Value=\"131\">Alfredsson"; for($i = 0; $i < 131; $i++) { if(htmlspecialchars($list[$i]) != $p) { echo "<BR>".htmlspecialchars($list[$i]); } } This is just a sample script that I want to get running before I actuaaly put it into use, so any help is appreciated.
