skip line begin with #

[ogo796]

hi all

i am having a problem with reading the lines from the text file

my file look like this:

#"11-02-2008 " chief vs tumi "1234"
"12-02-2008 " duma vs duma "1254"
i am wondering if the is any function that will can help me to skip the line begin with hash.

Show (part of) the reading code, because you can either read a file 'at-once', in an array or line-by-line.

$found = "#"; // need to be serch
$lines = file.txt; //text file
if ($lines)

{

foreach($lines as $lineNumber) //loop throuhg line by line

{

$foundAMatch = preg_match("^$found", $lineNumber, $matches, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE);//regular expression to serch

if ($foundAMatch > 0)

{

$found = $matches[0][0];

$count=$lineNumber;


}

}
{
$str_array = explode(" ",$count);

echo $str_array[0]."<br/>";

}

else

{

$line="no file/folder found";

echo $line;

}

if you can help me to skip the line beggin with hash cause they always gives me a problem when i read from the file.
