Re[4]: [PHP] Searching for text in a file

Hello Kelly, Your right the script does work but my problem is this the file I am searching looks like this below. And if I search on yourns@www.yourns.com alone it does not find it but if I search on yourns@www.yourns.com yourns it finds it. I need it to find just the email address not the stuff after it. yourns@www.yourns.com yourns root@www.nellsouth.com root majordomo@ns1.dellisp.com majordomo_site1 owner-majordomo@www.dellwebservices.com owner-majordomo_site15 sys@www.hispeedmail.com sys Monday, September 10, 2001, 1:26:44 AM, you wrote: Kelly Barrett> Richard, Kelly Barrett> I just put together a script using that code exactly, and it worked.
