No.
I mean the code you use to produce that file.

Hi mark,
No, it's like i have one php file in which user enters certain things , Then using PHP script all data goes to the databse , From that table i need email field.

N that is the result.txt file in which i am storing the results from the Select query..

Hope i make things clear..

Perhaps you can explain to us why you seem to extract the data from the database to this text file, and then wish to parse the text file to get the email addresses?

PHP can certainly read your text file and extract the email addresses with the proper scripting, without needing to "leave PHP" to execute the shell command sed. However, it seems to me it would be more efficient and easier to program in the long run if you extracted the email addresses from the database directly with PHP, and not create this text file as middle man.

Hi ajd335,
The one php file you mentioned, we want that code. The output is of little use, and we do not taylor make code, rather fix code that has already been made and is not working as expected. Hope that helps.
