Question

I Have a text file and want to parse it with PHP

any one has any idea how can I get IMPATTO LTD

IMPATTO LTD                               ZAHLUNG:       A

from the line above ?

I was thinking maybe regex but there is no uniform way of extracting it.. I guess the best is an expression that will get me the text until the Z from Zahlung.. Is this possible ?

By the way the first words can be of variable length…

Answer 1

$string = null;
$itms = explode('ZAHLUNG', $line);
if(is_array($itms) AND isset($itms[0])) {
    $string = trim($itms[0]);
}

echo $string; // IMPATTO LTD
