Re: Read one word in file

This is how I would do it ... <? $fp = fopen('/path/to/file','r'); while(!feof($fp)) { $line = trim(fgets($fp,4096)); if(strlen($line)) { $arr = explode(' ',$line); $numbers[] = $arr[0]; // if you want to make it remove the .'s then // do $numbers[] = str_replace('.','',$arr[0]); } } for($i = 0 ; $i < sizeof($numbers) ; ++$i) echo $numbers[$i]."\n"; ?> --Joe On Thu, Apr 05, 2001 at 04:50:37PM -0700, Andrew V.
