Do you still use COBOL? I haven't even seen any code written in it since my
college days :) I guess you still need to put specific characters in
specific columns. A weird-ass language, but as you say, it's file handling
was pretty good.
Anyway, assuming you're talking about a text file:
http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.file.php
$lines = file('filename');
foreach ($lines as $line_num => $line) {
process line...
}
OR:
http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php
$fh = fopen('filename', 'r');
while(! feof($fh)) {
process line...
}
fclose($fh);
