RE: TPN POSSIBLE SPAM:Re: [PHP-WIN] Re: Problems with fscanf [WORKAROUND] fgetc

German, You can access the characters of a string one at a time using the syntax $myString{$i} So I was suggesting getting the data into a string and iterating over the string using this syntax rather than repeatedly calling fgetc. The chances are that it would be faster - it rather depends on how fgetc is implemented (which I don't know in PHP).

What do you mean by "using {} syntax"? Are you talking about regular expressions or what?

That got me thinking - how about using fgets then running over the string using {} syntax. The same code (almost) would run many many times faster (probably).
