RE: [PHP-WIN] Looping problem

I don't want to break from the loop. I want to loop the entire file. The problem is: the first time i find a match = i do nothing, append to array. the second, third, fourth, .... and so on = I write the array, clear it and append to it. -----Original Message----- From: Herhuth, Ron [mailto:Ron.Herhuth@tatumpartners.com] Sent: Thursday, September 25, 2003 9:08 AM To: Gerardo Rojas Subject: Re: [PHP-WIN] Looping problem Can't you just insert a "Break;" when condition are met?

I have a global array that i append each line to. When my criteria is met. I mark that line. This line will begin an array that I will later write out. After writing out the array I zap it and reuse it for the next time my criteria is met. The problem I'm having is the first time my criteria is met, I don't want to write out the array, only the subsequent times my criteria is met; do I want to write out the array.
