Languages :: PHP :: Get filename

How can I parse the filename from a list that I got from ftp_rawlist() function?

I got the list like this :

-rw-r--r-- 1 504 505 4526946 Aug 3 18:30 Manual - Macromedia - Flash MX.pdf
-rw-r--r-- 1 504 505 2163562 Aug 3 18:28 eBook - Flash MX Level 2.pdf

And I want to create a function that can return ONLY the filename.

I tried like this :

function getName($item)
{
$matches = array();
eregi("[a-z]{3} +[0-9]{1,2} [ 0-9\:]{4,5} ([^( \\-\\>)]+)", $item, $matches);

return $matches[1];
}

But then it will fail if the filename contain space character.

Anyone can help me with this ?

Thanks.

this is (nearly) a fixed-length format, so a simple substr($thestring,$somepos) will do (it takes the rest of the string starting at position $somepos )

Personally, I would do a strpos(':',$thestring) to get the hour:minute position of the colon character, then increment by4 and take this value

ie :


function getName($item)
{
$matches = strpos(':',$item);
$thestring=($matches===FALSE)?"invalid filename '$item'":substr($item,$matches+4);
return $thestring;
}

VGR is right that you should exploit the fact that the time is always going to be a pattern matching XX:XX.

If you have to use raw to match other parameters to the filenames then VGR has a great solution, otherwise why not use ftp_nlist.

In case you do need to split everything then this expression will give size, month, day, hour, minute, filename

eregi("([0-9]+) ([a-z]{3}) ([0-9]{1,2}) ([0-9]{1,2}):([0-9]{1,2})(.*)$", $str1, $matches);

Thanks, I use VGR solution with a little correction :

$matches = strpos($item, ':');

:)
