Re: printing files

The only way that works fine for me is to read a file char by char. When you read the \n character add the readen chars in array's position. Here is an example $fp = fopen ("myfile","r"); $txtarr = array(); // array to store each line of your file $linenum = 1; // just a counter $linetext = ""; // string to put characters. Empty this string when you move to new line while ( !feof( $fp ) ){ $ch = fgetc( $fp ); // read a char $linetext .= $ch; // added to string if ( $ch=="\n" ){ // is it a new line? $txtarr[$linenum] = $linetext; // fill your array $linenum++; // counter ++ $linetext = ""; // empty line string; } } echo $txtarr[0]; // this outputs the1st line of your file etc. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Gurley" <john_g83@hotmail.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2002 1:55 PM Subject: [PHP] printing files > Just a quick question, > is there a way to echo in your php code lines of a file that you specify. > i.e. you want to output lines 1,4,7 of a certain text file > Thanks > John > > > > _________________________________________________________________ > Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. > http://www.hotmail.com > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php >
