Problems with fscanf

All of it :P I only want to delete the initial and final tags in order to unify various archives with the sames patterns. To work with this archives I need to put it one by one, so I thought that I can unify all in only one archive. I'm doing it in php for my partners, because i'm not the only one with the problem so i want this utility to work in any pc. But i managet to solve this with fgetc :) See my other mail :) Thanks anyway 2006/9/26, Niel Archer <niel@catweasel.org>:

Hi First, if you're parsing XML files, I'd suggest using the XML modules to do so. I'm not sure what you're attempting. From the line: <ARTIST>The Communards</ARTIST> are you trying to retrieve all of it, or just "The Communards"? If the latter then try a regex and not fscanf This is a little loose on the tag matching but should do the job:

       $pattern = '/<\w+>(.+)<\/\w+>/';
       preg_match($pattern, $line, $matches);

returning the untagged data into $matches[1] and the tagged data into $matches[0] This assumes that you have only a single tagged entry per line. Niel -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
