PHP Read Text File With Column Separated - php

Question

I have a text file generated from our banking software which looks like this:
This is my code to print the text file contents line by line:
<?php
$myFile = "20151231.txt";
$lines = file($myFile);
foreach ($lines as $line_num) {
echo htmlspecialchars($line_num)."<br>";
}
It prints like this:
I just want each line that starts with:
====>
I want everything else deleted.
I tried a lot but failed to print lines with the columns separated as it looks in the text file image.
This is how I want each line to print:
====>0518 Intt on Consumer Loan 401010707 108,149.00
Your assistance regarding this will be highly appreciated.

Answer 1

You can print it as a table:
<?php
$myFile = "20151231.txt";
$lines = file($myFile);
echo '<table>';
foreach ($lines as $line_num) {
if (strpos($line_num, '====>') !== false) {
$str = trim(htmlspecialchars($line_num));
echo '<tr>';
echo '<td>' . getColumnText("/====>\d+/", $str) .'</td>';
echo '<td>' . getColumnText("/\s([a-zA-Z\s]+)/", $str) .'</td>';
$secondCol = getColumnText("/\s([0-9]+)/", $str);
echo '<td>' . $secondCol .'</td>';
$thirdCol = end(explode(" ", $str));
if (trim($secondCol) === $thirdCol) {
echo '<td style="text-align:right">' . str_repeat(" ", 10) .'</td>';
} else {
echo '<td style="text-align:right">' . str_repeat(" ", 10) . $thirdCol .'</td>';
}
echo '</tr>';
}
}
echo '</table>';
function getColumnText($pattern, $str) {
preg_match($pattern, $str, $matches);
return trim(current($matches));
}

yes you can do that with strpos or regularexpression and i am just writing code using strpos
<?php $myFile = "text.txt";
$lines = file($myFile);
echo '<table cellspacing="20">';
$linenum = 1;
foreach ($lines as $line_num) {
echo '<tr>';
// check whether line conatain ====>, if you want to check starting of line then just put 0 instead of false in following condition
if(strpos($line_num,'====>')!==false)
{
$texts= substr($line_num, strpos($line_num,'====>')+5);
$textarr = explode(" ", $texts);
echo '<td>'.$linenum.'</td>';
foreach($textarr as $arr)
{
echo '<td>'.$arr.'</td>';
}
$linenum++;
//print_r($textarr);
//echo htmlspecialchars($line_num)."<br>";
}
}
echo '<table>';
