    <p>I have this textfile:</p> <pre><code>foo: bar el: macho bing: bong cake color: blue berry mayo: ello </code></pre> <p>And I what I'm trying to accomplish is that if I "look" for foo, it returns bar (if I look for bing, it should return bong). A way a tried to accomplish this is first search though the file, return the line with the result, put it in a string and remove everything before the ":" and display the string.</p> <pre><code>// What to look for $search = 'bing'; // Read from file $lines = file('file.txt'); foreach($lines as $line) { // Check if the line contains the string we're looking for, and print if it does if(strpos($line, $search) !== false) echo $line; $new_str = substr($line, ($pos = strpos($line, ',')) !== false ? $pos + 1 : 0); } echo "&lt;br&gt;"; echo "bing should return bong:"; echo $new_str; </code></pre> <p>But it doesn't work. Up here is just one of the many things I've tried.</p> <p>Sources: Many stackoverflow links on and comparable searches:<br> <a href="https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&amp;q=php+remove+everything+after" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&amp;q=php+remove+everything+after</a><br> <a href="https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&amp;q=php+search+text+file+return+line" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&amp;q=php+search+text+file+return+line</a></p> <p>I've asked a question before, but the answers are to "professional" for me, I really need a noob-proof solution/answer. I've been trying to figure it out all day but I just can't get this to work.</p> <p>Edit: It's solved! Thank you so much for your time &amp; help, I hope this might be useful to someone else to!</p>
