I'm trying to take a text file and count the number of lines that match
a regexp. I've got it working using the following code:
$data = file("myfile.txt");
$total = 0;
foreach($data as $i) {
if (ereg("^1,",$i)) {
$total = $total + 1;
}
}
but I'm still learning PHP and am wondering if there's an easier/better
way to do this?
Thanks.
