Anyone know a way to make script, that will load a big TXT file and count how many times some word appears in it? Example, I wish to count how many “Name:” words are there in in this file I loaded..

[code=php]<?PHP
$str = "This is a test string which will contain test characters. Let's run a test, and then be done.";
preg_match_all("/btestb/", $str, $num);
$num = count($num[0]);
echo $num
?>[/code]

@pyroOct 17.2003 — I just posted the script as an example, not a full script...

[code=php]
<?PHP
$contents = file("yourfile.txt");
$lines = "";
foreach ($contents as $line) {
$lines .= $line;
}
preg_match_all("/btestb/", $lines, $num);
$num = count($num[0]);
echo $num
?>[/code]

Success!
