Hi all,
I have a file which contains data drom a serial post. Each record in the file ends with a control character "" which I think is "ASCII 192".
If I run the file in the MagicParser demo page the result is blank. I think it may be the "control character". Is there a way I can run this code using MagicParser.
Many thanks for any help you can give.
The data looks like this:

Hi Dereck,
If the records are not separated by new line characters - or if (as it appears to be binary data) new line characters may even appear within each record it's unlikely to be suitable for use with Magic Parser i'm afraid.
However, if the content in your posts represents a complete example it should be straight forward to process using explode() - have a go with something like this:
<?php$data = file_get_contents("filename.dat");
$records = explode(chr(0x192),$data);
foreach($records as $record)
{
// process each $record here
}
?>
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
David.
