I want to read a file a.txt
It has contents in the format
This is line 1.
This is line 3. Further in this line.
This is line 4.
This is line 6.
I want to read this file (line by line, i think) and check if the current line is blank (like there is no Line 2 i.e. a blank line.)
What I want to do is that - now in the above text file there are 3 sets of line or 3 paragraphs. I want to check if there is a blank line between two set of lines.
Or is there some way to fetch paragraphs???
I want to separate these 3 sets of line in 3 rows in an excel sheet.
i.e.
In excel sheet columns:
A1 - This is line 1.
A2 -This is line 3. Further in this line.
This is line 4.
A3 -
This is line 6.
How I can do this?

Re: Check a blank line while reading a file
It would probably be easiest to explode the file into an array based on double newlines. This should do it:
Code: Select all
$columns = explode(PHP_EOL.PHP_EOL, file_get_contents("/path/to/file.txt"));mysql_function(): WARNING: This extension is deprecated as of PHP 5.5.0, and will be removed in the future. Instead, the MySQLi or PDO_MySQLextension should be used. See also MySQL: choosing an API guide and related FAQ for more information.
