I am using the following script in order to get specific lines from a text file:
$searchfor = "Address to be geocoded";
// get the file contents
$contents = file_get_contents('predictVdslEligibilityWSLog-20150614.txt');
// escape special characters in the query
$pattern = preg_quote($searchfor, '/');
// finalise the regular expression, matching the whole line
$pattern = "/^.*$pattern.*\$/m";
// search, and store all matching occurences in $matches
if(preg_match_all($pattern, $contents, $matches)){
echo "Found matches:\n";
echo implode("\n", $matches[0]);
}
else{
echo "No matches found";
}
This works fine but what I want to do now is also to include in my matches() array also the very next line of each matching. For example if my text file looks like this:
Address to be geocoded:....
Other line 1
Other line 2
Address to be geocoded: ...
Other line x
Other line x2
I want to get the lines with "Address to be geocoded:...." PLUS the lines: Other line 1 AND Other line x.
Is this possible using regular expressions and preg_match?
