I am trying to parse out a file using an array. I load each line into a separate key in the array and then do transforms on the individual lines.
What I am looking to do is to test each for a keyword so that I can know which entry contains the data that I need and can get the data from the correct line.
For example, I have the following line:
Wind: from the SW (230 degrees) at 3 MPH (3 KT):0
What I want to do is to identify the line by 'Wind'. However, using array_search requires that I match the complete content of the line exactly, which I can't do, as I don't know the exact data.
Is there any way to get array_search to find a partial match? Or is there another command that I can use to do this?
You can use explode() and split the line into its parts (by using " " as the delimiter). Then the first element will be Wind: and you can check for that.
You could also try any of the regex functions to do the same thing.
