Printing only two lines from a file

Hi all!

I have a file (file01, i.e) like this:

foo
foo
foo
bar
foo
bar
foo

....

Where foo and bar repeats n times, but only foo and bar. What i want to
print is just:


foo
bar


I have tried this:

$myfile=file("file01");

$current_line = reset($myfile);
$first_line = $current_line;

print("First line is: $first_line");

while ($current_line=next($myfile))
{
if ($current_line != $first_line)
{
print("The other line is: $current_line");
break;
}
}


and it works as stand alone, but in the real application, i get:

Fatal error: Cannot break/continue 1 level in
/var/www/html/web/include/functionShow.inc on line 172


Does anyone knows how to do it in another way?

Thanks a lot.

Try this:

<?php
unset($x);
$fh = fopen('file01', 'r');
while (!feof($fh)) { // read the file line-by-line
$line = trim(fgets($fh));
if ($line) $x[$line]++; // and increment a count for each line
}
fclose($fh);
echo "lines in file (hopefully by order of appearance):\n------------\n";
foreach ($x as $line=>$count) {
echo "[$line] shows up $count times\n"; // display the line and count
// echo "$line\n"; // display just the line
}
echo "------------\n";
?>

Try to use array_unique on your $myfile var :
$resultarray = array_unique(file("file01"));
Then parse $resultarray :
foreach ($resultarray AS $key => $val) {
echo "Distinct line number $key = $val<br>\n";
}

See the doc :
