Searching and replacing

[Tddupre]

What is replaced? Are you saying, if the right side of the equals sign contains something then replace the left side of the equals sign with the right side in the text file?

thanks for the quick response.

once the php file is loaded it searches the php file. what is looking for in the php file is any term that is located on the right side of the equal sign. the text file looks like this. And say that while searching it finds text 2 in the php file, if it does it will replace it with text 1

text 1 = text 2
text 3 = text 4

etc...
