Or you could do something like:
$matches = array();
$fileText = file_get_contents('data.txt'); // PHP4.3+
if (preg_match_all ('/^.{9}(SUBPATTERN_THAT_MATCHES_YOUR_DATA).*$/m',
$fileText, $matches)) {
// $matches now contains your data, in this format:
// $matches[0][0] - the whole first matched line
// $matches[0][1] - your data from the first matched line
// $matches[1][0] - the whole second matched line
// $matches[1][1] - your data from the second matched line
// ... and so on.
} else {
// Your search failed - nothing matched.
}
Note that you'll have to replace SUBPATTERN_THAT_MATCHES_YOUR_DATA with
a valid regular expression describing the data you'd like to extract.
