clx and mjf,
Note that $1 in a and the discussion in the referenced thread provide a test for exact matches, but $1 ~ /COMS|SMAS|MARC/ is testing for substring matches. In other words, if the first field in the input contains the substring COMS or the substring SMAS or the substring MARC, it will match even if it is not one of those three exact strings.
To get what was requested here, we would need something more like:
Note that the close() is needed because since it is performing a substring match, even if there are only three lines in client_list, there could be thousands of output files created.
Of course, it is entirely possible that ROCK_PLSQL wants exact matches, but that is not what the code supplied in post #1 in this thread does.

eregi
EREGI(3) 1 EREGI(3)eregi - Case insensitive regular expression matchSYNOPSIS
int eregi (string $pattern, string $string, [array &$regs])
DESCRIPTION
This function is identical to ereg(3) except that it ignores case distinction when matching alphabetic characters.
Warning
This function has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 5.3.0. Relying on this feature is highly discouraged.
PARAMETERS
o $pattern
- Case insensitive regular expression.
o $string
- The input string.
o $regs
- If matches are found for parenthesized substrings of $pattern and the function is called with the third argument $regs, the
matches will be stored in the elements of the array $regs. $regs[1] will contain the substring which starts at the first left
parenthesis; $regs[2] will contain the substring starting at the second, and so on. $regs[0] will contain a copy of the complete
string matched.
RETURN VALUES
Returns the length of the matched string if a match for $pattern was found in $string, or FALSE if no matches were found or an error
occurred.
If the optional parameter $regs was not passed or the length of the matched string is 0, this function returns 1.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
eregi(3) example
<?php
$string = 'XYZ';
if (eregi('z', $string)) {
echo "'$string' contains a 'z' or 'Z'!";
}
?>
NOTES
Note
As of PHP 5.3.0, the regex extension is deprecated in favor of the PCRE extension. Calling this function will issue an E_DEPRECATED
notice. See the list of differences for help on converting to PCRE.
Tip
eregi(3) is deprecated as of PHP 5.3.0. preg_match(3) with the i ( PCRE_CASELESS) modifier is the suggested alternative.
