Thank you for the feedback, specially, since it was nothing more than an approximation of what I interpreted you were looking for. Nevertheless, if it would have not been, it could have been fixed by providing more feedback based on the output of it.
For me, it is never a waste of time.
Hi Aia,
If you look back at the earlier posts in this thread, you'll note that I provided code that did exactly what the OP requested and asked for details describing how we were supposed to determine what text was supposed to be extracted from an input file. The response so far has been that with
x as input,
y is the desired output.
You provided a great piece of code that didn't produce the output requested for any of the three sample input lines the OP posted. Apparently the OP has a solution that meets his or her requirements, but since we don't really know what those requirements are, I don't see how either of us can write code to meet those requirements.

phar.extractto
PHAR.EXTRACTTO(3) 1 PHAR.EXTRACTTO(3)
Phar::extractTo - Extract the contents of a phar archive to a directory
SYNOPSIS
public bool Phar::extractTo (string $pathto, [string|array $files], [bool $overwrite = false])
DESCRIPTION
Note
This method requires the php.ini setting phar.readonly to be set to 0 in order to work for Phar objects. Otherwise, a PharException
will be thrown.
Extract all files within a phar archive to disk. Extracted files and directories preserve permissions as stored in the archive. The
optional parameters allow optional control over which files are extracted, and whether existing files on disk can be overwritten. The sec-
ond parameter files can be either the name of a file or directory to extract, or an array of names of files and directories to extract. By
default, this method will not overwrite existing files, the third parameter can be set to true to enable overwriting of files. This method
is similar to ZipArchive.extractTo(3).
PARAMETERS
o $pathto
- Path within an archive to the file to delete.
o $files
- The name of a file or directory to extract, or an array of files/directories to extract
o $overwrite
- Set to TRUE to enable overwriting existing files
RETURN VALUES
returns TRUE on success, but it is better to check for thrown exception, and assume success if none is thrown.
ERRORS
/EXCEPTIONS
Throws PharException if errors occur while flushing changes to disk.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
A Phar.extractTo(3) example
<?php
try {
$phar = new Phar('myphar.phar');
$phar->extractTo('/full/path'); // extract all files
$phar->extractTo('/another/path', 'file.txt'); // extract only file.txt
$phar->extractTo('/this/path',
array('file1.txt', 'file2.txt')); // extract 2 files only
$phar->extractTo('/third/path', null, true); // extract all files, and overwrite
} catch (Exception $e) {
// handle errors
}
?>
