[someusernamehere]

Hey, I need to create an application wich extract data from a .csv
text (delimited by commas), the problem is that I only need some
relevant data, its posssible extract what I want (may be with regular
expressions, by matching some words, thought) with PHP?, can anyone
give me an example/approach?

many thanks.

<http://www.php.net/fgetcsv>
<http://www.php.net/str_getcsv>

Those will turn a line from a csv file into an array. From there you
can just use the values you need.

Maybe the easiest would be to just use fgetcsv() and throw away what you
don't want.
