I am trying to parse out a file using an array. I load each line into a separate key in the array and then do transforms on the individual lines. What I am looking to do is to test each for a keyword so that I can know which entry contains the data that I need and can get the data from the correct line. For example, I have the following line: Wind: from the SW (230 degrees) at 3 MPH (3 KT):0 What I want to do is to identify the line by 'Wind'. However, using array_search requires that I match the complete content of the line exactly, which I can't do, as I don't know the exact data. Is there any way to get array_search to find a partial match? Or is there another command that I can use to do this? -- Ian Truelsen Email: ian@ihtruelsen.dyndns.org AIM: ihtruelsen Homepage: http://www.ihtruelsen.dyndns.org
