David,
I have a text file that has a format as follows
Item1|$$|127.0.0.1|33014|38837.0129173727|38858.7824140046|||100|0|0|
Item2|eA|IP1|58453|38858.517977338|38858.782236956|2.5.2285.22787|IME3|100|2|1|
Item3|da|IP2|58158|38858.3665680093|38858.7823904977||IME3|50|0|0|
I am trying to parse it with MagicParser (your pages say it should work with pipe separated files).
I am trying this:
require './lib/MagicParser.php';
$stats = array();
function myRecordHandler($record) {
global $stats;
$stats[] = $record;
}
$result = MagicParser_parse("filename.dat","myRecordHandler");
if (!$result) {
print MagicParser_getErrorMessage();
}
print_r($result);
But that only Returns 1.
Changing the line to $result = MagicParser_parse("filename.dat","myRecordHandler","|");
Returns "Invalid format string"
Can I make this work??

David,
Have just e-mailed you the complete file. I don't see any leading space and even when I delete the trailing space it still returns one with the exact code you listed.
Jay
Thanks,
Should be print_r($stats) not print_r($result). Works fine now with the code you gave.

Hi Jay,
It sounds like something is preventing the autodetection from working on your source file as I just pasted your sample text into the demo script and it parses correctly.....
http://www.magicparser.com/demo?fileID=4470B1EDB87D8&record=1
The format string that you should be using is "csv|124|0|0", so your call to MagicParser_parse should look like this:
$result = MagicParser_parse("filename.dat","myRecordHandler","csv|124|0|0");If that still doesn't work, open the file into a text editor to confirm that no trailing white space or other characters are present.
Hope this helps!
David.
