#!/bin/ksh

while IFS=: read downloadDay City forecastDay kindOfData valueOfData junk
do
     # do your stuff with the extracted fields here
     echo "downloadDay -> [${downloadDay}]  City -> [${City}]"
done < myForecastFile

maxdb_data_seek - Adjusts the result pointer to an arbitary row in the result

       Procedural style

SYNOPSIS
bool maxdb_data_seek (resource $result, int $offset) DESCRIPTION
Object oriented style bool maxdb_result::data_seek (int $offset) The maxdb_data_seek(3) function seeks to an arbitrary result pointer specified by the $offset in the result set represented by $result. The $offset parameter must be between zero and the total number of rows minus one (0..maxdb_num_rows(3) - 1). RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. EXAMPLES
Example #1 Object oriented style <?php /* Open a connection */ $maxdb = new maxdb("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB"); /* check connection */ if (maxdb_connect_errno()) { printf("Connect failed: %s ", maxdb_connect_error()); exit(); } $query = "SELECT name, state FROM hotel.city ORDER BY name"; if ($result = $maxdb->query( $query)) { /* seek to row no. 10 */ $result->data_seek(10); /* fetch row */ $row = $result->fetch_row(); printf ("City: %s State: %s ", $row[0], $row[1]); /* free result set*/ $result->close(); } /* close connection */ $maxdb->close(); ?> Example #2 Procedural style <?php $link = maxdb_connect("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB"); /* check connection */ if (!$link) { printf("Connect failed: %s ", maxdb_connect_error()); exit(); } $query = "SELECT name, state FROM hotel.city ORDER BY name"; if ($result = maxdb_query($link, $query)) { /* seek to row no. 400 */ maxdb_data_seek($result, 10); /* fetch row */ $row = maxdb_fetch_row($result); printf ("City: %s State: %s ", $row[0], $row[1]); /* free result set*/ maxdb_free_result($result); } /* close connection */ maxdb_close($link); ?> The above example will output something similar to: City: Irvine State: CA SEE ALSO
