Splitting data from a text file after specific value

Question

abusive 0 Newbie Poster

13 Years Ago

Basically i have a script that outputs a list of information about a file, Here is a sample

File Size:15423 bytes
File Name:Test.txt
File Location:C:\home\Test.txt
File MD5 Hash:1caf4a063526d84cd5b1ae6383a426d6
File SHA1 Hash:e79bfba095a8531adcb855d7c286f5c3ca93a535

My problem is that i want to split the data into two columns, For example "File Size:" Never changes so i want that as one column and then "15423 bytes" in a second column but that value changes. Here is my current code to how it displays that data.

$trID_Log_File = "testFile.txt";
	if(file_exists($trID_Log_File) && filesize($trID_Log_File) > 0) {
		$h = fopen($trID_Log_File, "r");
		$contents = fread($h, filesize($trID_Log_File));
		fclose($h);

		if(!stristr($contents, "TrID is best suited to analyze binary files!")) {
			$content .= "<table cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n";
			$content .= "<tbody>\n";
			$i = 0;
			$lines = explode("\n", $contents);
			foreach($lines as $line) {
				if(strlen($line) > 5) {
					$content .= "<tr>\n";
					$content .= "<td class=\"".($i % 2 == 0 ? "odd" : "even")."\" style=\"text-align: left; padding: 2px\">".$line."</td>\n";
					$content .= "</tr>\n";
					$i++;
				}
			}
			$content .= "</tbody>\n";
			$content .= "</table>\n";
			$content .= "<div class=\"border\"></div>\n";
		}
	}

Any help here?

Split the $line again with ":" delimiter. So $part[0] is the label and $part[1] is the value.

this will read text file by line, but you can slip each line with explode

<?php
$txtfile = file('testfile.txt', FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES | FILE_SKIP_EMPTY_LINES);
foreach($txtfile as $t){
echo $t."<br><br>";
}
?>

foreach($lines as $line){
$parts = preg_split("/:([^\/|^\\])/", $line);
$output .= "<tr>{$parts[0]}<td></td><td>{$parts[1]}</td></tr>";
}

Use below instead of above:

foreach($lines as $line){
$parts = preg_split('!\s*+[:]{1}\s!', $line);
$output .= "<tr>{$parts[0]}:<td></td><td>{$parts[1]}</td></tr>";
}

It should work. Hope this help.

But for file location there is a ":" After the hdd letter wont it attempt to split "C" and "\" ?

In this case use explode function to split. The $part[0] is your Label ad the remaining parts are your value. You can use count() to find the umber of parts of that array.

I have no idea how to implement any of these ideas, Any help?

Sorry just read your reply to my post wrt explode on ":". Yes it will cause a problem if you have a ':' in the value. You can either re-join parts with an index > 0 or use preg_split.

$file_content = file_get_contents($file);
$lines = explode("\n",$file_content);
$output = "...do table tags and thead etc...";
foreach($lines as $line){
  $parts = preg_split("/:([^\/|^\\])/", $line);
  $output .= "<tr>{$parts[0]}<td></td><td>{$parts[1]}</td></tr>"; 
}
$output .= "... tidy up end table tags ...";

then echo out the output where nedded in your html:

<h3>Result</h3>
<?php echo $output;?>
<p>Blah blah blah</p>

//EDIT

I'm a complete idiot at regex, so if anybody can think of a better expression, feel free. My rationale was- split on ':' but NOT when followed by a '\' or a '/'.

Thank you that is working fine.
Just another question, My current output displays all the files information Plus a bit of data which i want to remove it's a URL and looks like this
"URL=http://********/result.php?id=aac15_bjbo3" How do i go about removing this from my output? It's at the very bottom so it's the last bit of data.

preg_replace('/(URL=http:\/\/).\s*?/', '', $your_url);

Not tested yet. You can use 'preg_replace' regular expression function, and google can help you more detail. Hope this help.

Sorry i can't get your question. Please re-post this with some more explanation with output you required.

Here is my current output

http://gyazo.com/8fe8b4ef3f819da02f5090eec65ecb41.png

You see at the bottom of the table it shows

"URL=http //scan4you.net/result.php?id=24e80_bjbj7"

I need this to be removed from the output, And i also need a way of changing the color of the text for example, If the right column on the table displays "OK" I need it to be green but anything else must be red except for the text in the first column. I know im asking allot but i have no idea on how to do this part for my site.

Oh Ok.. Try this

<?php    
    $trID_Log_File = "testFile.txt";
    if(file_exists($trID_Log_File) && filesize($trID_Log_File) > 0) 
	{
		$h = fopen($trID_Log_File, "r");
		$contents = fread($h, filesize($trID_Log_File));
		fclose($h);
     
		if(!stristr($contents, "TrID is best suited to analyze binary files!")) 
		{
			$content .= "<table cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"10\" border=\"1\">\n";
			$content .= "<tbody>\n";
			//$i = 0;
			$lines = explode("\n", $contents);
			//foreach($lines as $line) 
			for($i=0;$i<count($lines)-1;$i++)
			{
				if(strlen($lines[$i]) > 5) 
				{
					$line_arr=explode(":",$lines[$i]);
					$right="";
					for($j=1;$j<count($line_arr);$j++)
					{
						$right=$right.$line_arr[$j];
					}
					$content .= "<tr>\n";
					$content .= "<td>".$line_arr[0]."</td>\n";
					$content .= "<td". if($right=="OK") { echo " style='color:#00ff00'"; }.">".$right."</td>\n";
					$content .= "</tr>\n";
					//$i++;
				}
    		}
			$content .= "</tbody>\n";
			$content .= "</table>\n";
			$content .= "<div class=\"border\"></div>\n";
    	}
    }

I'm given this error

I can't believe that you're not using preg_split for this. Zero has a working regex.

Anyway, why the: $i<count($lines)-1? I didn't get the take the last line off. The < takes care that the numbers tally.
