Need help with preg match syntax

[wsmeyer]

I am trying to strip info from a portion of an email that is always in this format:

-----------------------

Ship To:

Customer Name
123 Main St
Anytown
CA
12345
US

Number of Packages

----------------------

What I have so far:

preg_match('/Ship To:+([^Number]+)/s', $page_contents, $match_array);
$ShipTo = $match_array[1];

works but on the off chance someone uses something like

123 Main st, Number 2

In their address it will stop prematurely, second issue is that I would like to keep the line breaks in the variable, as it stands now they are being replaced with spaces.

William.

Hi wsmeyer,

Instead of using regex, how about using either file [uk2.php.net] or file_get_contents [uk2.php.net] functions? The first would probably be best as this reads the contents of your file into an array. You can then just access the data you need.
