I need to extract the following data from a txt file(displayed in link),then save every field specified on mysql, my problem is how do I get every field contained in a row since its separated by spaces
I tried,
array = explode(' ', $line);
but that method saves spaces
I would like to pu it into an array ,
Array=(
[0] => '1',
[ 1] => 'OC1',
[2] => 'Columna',
[3] => '1',
[4] => 'IN45X104',
[5] => '11745'
....
);
$string = preg_replace("/\s[\s]+/",",",$string);
$array = explode(",",$string);
preg_replace
just work like str_replace
but allow you to replace with using regular expression /\s[\s]+/
matches multiple white spaces and then all that white spaces replace with single ","
so its easy to explode now.
Function Source : http://in3.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php
Use preg_split() to match complex delimiters

<?php
$line="test test2 test3";
$array=preg_split('/\s+/',$line);
print_r($array);
try this,
$tok = strtok($string, " \n\t\x0B\0");
while ($tok !== false)
{
echo "Word=$tok<br />";
$tok = strtok(" \n\t\x0B\0");
}
strtok() splits a string (str) into smaller strings (tokens), with
each token being delimited by any character from token. That is, if
you have a string like "This is an example string" you could tokenize
this string into its individual words by using the space character as
the token.
