Hi, This is my script: (ryan_debug_write_to_file is my debug function that writes stuff into a txt file instead of using a print(), its working without a problem) ------------------------------ $stdin = fopen('php://stdin', 'r'); while ($line = fgets($stdin)) { $line=trim($line); ryan_debug_write_to_file('In while(),STDIN, Start..'.$line.'---End '); $pattern="/^(\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+)\|(.+)\|(\d+)\|([\d-]+)\|(.+)\|(.+)$/";

      	if (preg_match($pattern,$line,$m))

/*\|(.+)\|(.+)*/

      	{

ryan_debug_write_to_file('Now in Preg match!'); /* This does not execute for some reason....ARRRRGH*/ ....more code here } ------------------------------ The problem is I never get the "Now in Preg match" message... I have checked the preg_match by taking the data and putting it in a file and reading it from there like this: ----------------------------------- <pre> <?php $stdin = fopen("test.txt", "r"); while ($line = fgets($stdin)) { $line=trim($line); echo '<b>In while(),Start..'.$line.'---End of stdin<br></b>'; $pattern="/^(\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+)\|(.+)\|(\d+)\|([\d-]+)\|(.+)\|(.+)$/";

      	if (preg_match($pattern,$line,$m))

/*\|(.+)\|(.+)*/

      	{

echo 'Now in Preg match!<br>'; } } ?> </pre> ----------------------------------- and it works perfectly, so wheres the damn problem on top? Spent the better part of 3 hours trying to find the problem. (you can download the test.txt script from ezee.se/test/test.txt) basically, the preg_match is to match this: 193.150.249.47|-|200|188|/usr/local/www/om/www/pass/coin|- If you want to see the whole script you can download it from ezee.se/test/coinpass_problem.php.txt So pissed I want to take a print out of the script and burn the sh*t.

If you cat test.txt | script.php (script.php being the first example) does it work? I was wondering if the different line endings (dos/unix) might play a factor but I doubt it. -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/
