In this case I only use php to do this.
I have these .txt files to read:
File A
FA line 1
FA line 2
FA line 3
File B
FB line 1
FB line 2
FB line 3
-
FB line 4
FB line 5
FB line 6
-
FB line 7
FB line 8
FB line 9
'FA line 1' line from the 'FileA.txt' is matched with various lines of the 'FileB.txt' the way I know till which line is from the 'FA line 1' is that is separated with this '-'.
In the first example, 3 lines of 'FileB.txt' match one line of 'FileA.txt', but could be the case that 'FA line 1' match 3 lines, 'FA line 2' match 4 lines and 'FA line 3' match 2 lines like this:
File A
FA line 1
FA line 2
FA line 3
File B
FB line 1
FB line 2
FB line 3
-
FB line 4
FB line 5
FB line 6
FB line 7
-
FB line 8
FB line 9
It could be separated with some other symbol like this one '_' for example, but is important that is separated to know how much lines are from each.
The goal is to put those 2 files in an associative array this way without the '-' because is only a separator (first example):
$ArrayResult[FA line 1] = "FB line 1
FB line 2
FB line 3";
$ArrayResult[FA line 2] = "FB line 4
FB line 5
FB line 6";
$ArrayResult[FA line 3] = "FB line 7
FB line 8
FB line 9";
or in the second example would be like this:
$ArrayResult[FA line 1] = "FB line 1
FB line 2
FB line 3";
$ArrayResult[FA line 2] = "FB line 4
FB line 5
FB line 6
FB line 7";
$ArrayResult[FA line 3] = "FB line 8
FB line 9";
I tryed many times with different ways but couldn't achieve this.
This are some failed attempts that gave me different kind of errors or didn't work, also I don't know which way is more efficient:
First way:
$rute1 = "FileA.txt";
$rute2 = "FileB.txt";
if(is_file($rute1) && is_file($rute2)){
if(($fh1 = fopen($rute1, "r")) && ($fh2 = fopen($rute2, "r"))){
$result = array();
$aux1 = array();
$aux2 = array();
$line1="";
while (!feof($fh1)){
$line1 = fgets($fh1);
array_push($aux1, $line1);
}
$linea2="";
while (!feof($fh2)){
if(fgets($fh2)===("-")){
array_push($aux2, $line2);
$line2="";
} else {
$line2 .= fgets($fh2);
}
}
}
}
fclose($fh1);
fclose($fh2);
for ($i=0;$i=sizeof($aux1);$i++) {
$Result[$aux1[$i]]=$aux2[$i];
}
print_r($result);
Second Way:
$rute1 = "FileA.txt";
$rute2 = "FileB.txt";
if(is_file($rute1) && is_file($rute2)){
if(($fh1 = fopen($rute1, "r")) && ($fh2 = fopen($rute2, "r"))){
$result = array();
$pointer = 0;
$line1="";
while (!feof($fh1)){
$line1 = fgets($fh1);
$line2="";
while (!feof($fh2)){
fseek($fh2, $pointer);
if(fgets($fh2)==="-"){
$pointer = ftell($fh2);
break;
} else {
$line2 .= fgets($fh2);
}
}
$result[$line1]=$line2;
}
}
fclose($fh1);
fclose($fh2);
}
print_r($Result);
Any ideas to solve this?
Thanks in advance for the help! :D
