Hey guys.

I am wanting to take a file (which a program makes and logs all of the chat in the game I play), sift through all of that information for specific lines, and use parts of those lines (words/phrases) to create data.

Example: You defeat a monster! It dropped you an item! CharacterName obtains the item!

- The Red text would be one variable and would store to table 1.
- The Green text would be a seperate variable and would store to tables 2 & 3.
- The Blue text would both be variables and would store to table 3 & 4.

I know a decent amount of PHP (learning more and more every day) and feel sure it could be done...but I have no idea how to even go about doing it. If doing it in another language would be more efficient, then I would take the time to learn it as well.

Could someone please help? I would be grateful for some suggestions, tutorial links, etc., since I don't even know where to start

.

Thanks!

Sorry to bump, anyone have any clue on this?
