Also, try removing the 's' from outside the pattern matching in $ts. You might get back some useful information.
usage: pmatch [ -cfghilnv ] '/pattern/' [ file ] ... -c : show only line count for each file -f : show only filenames in output -g : greedy matching -h : supress filenames from output -i : ignore case -l : show entire line instead of just what matched -n : show line numbers in output -s : supress error messages about missing or unreadable files -t : do not trim whitespace from begin/end of lines -v : show lines that do NOT match pattern

In the loop
$hit[] = preg_match ($ts, $line_in,$matches);
Now the $hit array fills up correctly, if the trigger string is on the line just read in, putting 1 or 0 in $hits. But the string that triggered the match is not put in $matches. The manual says it should be.
What's your actual code? How are you looking for the match in $matches? >If something was matched, then it'll be there.
The full cod in the loop is.
$cnt = 0;
while(!feof($fp))
{
// Get body
$line_in = fgets($fp,4096);
$cnt++;
// looking for the other end of the marker found above
if (substr($line_in,2,strlen($line_in)-5) != $marker )
{ $body = $body . $line_in;
$hit[] = preg_match ($ts, $line_in,$matches);
$line[] = $line_in;
$char = substr($line_in,0,1);
$quote[] = preg_match ($qs, $char);
}
if (strpos($line_in, $marker) > 0 ) { break; }
}
Later on in the code after the loop I do
echo "printing array matches <br>"; print_r ($matches);echo "<br>"; echo "printing array hit <br>"; print_r ($hit); echo "printing array quote <br>"; print_r ($quote);
echo "printing array lins <br>";
print_r ($line);
$lcnt = count($line);
echo "cnt of line array is $lcnt <br>";
$hcnt = count($hit);
echo "cnt of hit array is $hcnt <br>";
$qcnt = count($quote);
echo "cnt of quote array is $qcnt <br>";
$mcnt = count($matches);
echo "cnt of matches array is $mcnt <br>";
the arrays $hit and $line and $quote all print data, and all the
count($array) print a value except the $matches array and count are empty.
