Pulling a specific string from a file

[elyob]

Hi, I'm looking at pulling a string from a source file and am wondering the
best way to do this. I have a starter and ender quote but am just wondering
the best way to do this? Regular expressions?

Thanks

Easiest way without regexpr is using:
substr()
and
strpos()

Use strpos to find the position of the starterquote and also for endquote.
Use substr to retrieve the part inbetween.

check at www.php.net for usage.
It is really very straightforward (when you know the functionnames. :P )

Thanks, I just thought I'd try that before you posted, I've now got the
string out succesfully! The strstr function was also very useful.

Thanks
