splitting sentence at a specific word

Hi ellandrd,

You can just use explode, for instance:

$list = array();
$list = explode(' Ver: ', $sentence);
print_r($list);

although it will be $list[0] and $list[1] and not $list['title'] and $list['version'] like you have it.

Regards,

i just get:

Array
(
    [0] =>
)

Did you assign Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Professional Ver: 006.000.000 to $sentence?

well ive got all my sentences in an array..

$list = file("list.txt");

$array_size = sizeof($list);                                        

for($i = 0; $i < $array_size; $i++)
{
    $list[$i] = trim(str_replace("\n","",$list[$i]));
}

$list = array_filter($list);

for($i = 0; $i < $array_size; $i++)
{
      $list = explode(' Ver: ', $list[$i]);
}

echo "<pre>";
print_r($list);
echo "</pre>";

Give me a few lines on the file you are grabbing from. You might only need to split a certain line (maybe the first, for instance).

here is my txt file contents:

Adobe Reader 7.0.7 Ver: 7.0.7
Alchemy Workstation Suite      
Autodesk DWG Viewer   Ver: 16.1.63.106
CCleaner (remove only)      
Data Access Objects (DAO) 3.5      
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 7 Ver: 1.5.0.70
Mathcad 13 Ver: 13.1.3.0
McAfee VirusScan Ver: 4.5.1
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Ver: 1.1.4322

basically what i want to do is split each line at Ver, saving for example "Adobe Reader 7.0.7" into $part[0] and saving "7.0.7" into $part[1] in an array...

For every line that has Ver, this will work:

$list = file("list.txt");
$parts = array();

foreach ($list as $v)
{
    $parts[] = explode(' Ver: ', $v);
}

print_r($parts);

ok, but some lines dont have the word Ver.. what happens then? how can i overcome that?

Do you want to just ignore the lines without Ver?

yes
