It's not trying to load the whole file in memory. It caches one copy of the first bits of a new line (things up to "fruit") and the list of 'items' that follow. When the first bits change, the record, with the summary of items, is written and the caching/list starts anew (list = ""). So, the only significant amount of "stuff" that is ever held in memory is the list of items.
Now, if that list is huge, then the programme could be amended to write them out as it finds them. My assumption was that the list wasn't going to be more than 1 or 2 K.
---------- Post updated at 21:55 ---------- Previous update was at 21:42 ----------
Turns out that printing the list as we go is a simpler programme; just didn't see it that way the other night.
Seems simple but I am having difficulty with this one: I am trying to write a single command line argument (which will be a path) - the program should print out the owner of the path.
I can not get anything I write to run.
Please help. (5 Replies)

LEARN ABOUT PHP
each
EACH(3) 1 EACH(3)each - Return the current key and value pair from an array and advance the array cursorSYNOPSIS
array each (array &$array)
DESCRIPTION
Return the current key and value pair from an array and advance the array cursor.
After each(3) has executed, the array cursor will be left on the next element of the array, or past the last element if it hits the end of
the array. You have to use reset(3) if you want to traverse the array again using each.
PARAMETERS
o $array
- The input array.
RETURN VALUES
Returns the current key and value pair from the array $array. This pair is returned in a four-element array, with the keys 0, 1, key, and
value. Elements 0 and key contain the key name of the array element, and 1 and value contain the data.
If the internal pointer for the array points past the end of the array contents, each(3) returns FALSE.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
each(3) examples
<?php
$foo = array("bob", "fred", "jussi", "jouni", "egon", "marliese");
$bar = each($foo);
print_r($bar);
?>
$bar now contains the following key/value pairs:
Array
(
[1] => bob
[value] => bob
[0] => 0
[key] => 0
)
<?php
$foo = array("Robert" => "Bob", "Seppo" => "Sepi");
$bar = each($foo);
print_r($bar);
?>
$bar now contains the following key/value pairs:
Array
(
[1] => Bob
[value] => Bob
[0] => Robert
[key] => Robert
)
each(3) is typically used in conjunction with list(3) to traverse an array, here's an example:
Example #2
Traversing an array with each(3)
<?php
$fruit = array('a' => 'apple', 'b' => 'banana', 'c' => 'cranberry');
reset($fruit);
while (list($key, $val) = each($fruit)) {
echo "$key => $val
";
}
?>
The above example will output:
a => apple
b => banana
c => cranberry
Caution
Because assigning an array to another variable resets the original array's pointer, our example above would cause an endless loop
had we assigned $fruit to another variable inside the loop.
Warning
each(3) will also accept objects, but may return unexpected results. It's therefore not recommended to iterate though object proper-
ties with each(3).
