Also is it just one conf file you need to search through or many in the same directory ?many. but feeding that into a loop is simple once I work this out.
I had file scanning already in the example file but can take it out. The reason I'm asking is if you need to have the filename too in the "report" for each extension?
Yes. but why i dunno. this is all a hand coded mess when compared to standards.
It is all perfectly valid syntax. and there are comments all over. but jsut wow.

still not granted to get only valid extendoens't work right on a live file. close. but not correct.

Hang on a sec. I'm just about finished.

This is the output:

Or if it's just for viewing I'd html it.

This is the complete php file with comments.
It takes all *.conf files and goes through them.
<?php // find matching files, put in array called filename $filename=glob("*.conf"); // scan through all the files foreach ($filename as $f) { // print filename print "File: $f\n"; // read all lines into lines array $lines=file($f); $no=0; // linenumber $comment=[]; // comments array // go through the file and pick out what we need foreach ($lines as $line) { $no++; // look for [context] if ($line[0]=='[') { $context=$line; print "$context"; } // look for extensions $search="exten =>"; if (substr($line,0,strlen($search))==$search) { //print $line; // we found the extension row // lets take everything after "exten =>" $extline=trim(substr($line,strlen($search))); // lets divide it up $parts=explode(',', $extline); $ext=$parts[0]; // extension number // check that it's ?????,1,????? if ($parts[1]=='1') { // valid extension, actual extension is $parts[0]; $ext=$line; // print comments foreach($comment as $c) print "$c"; // print the extesion and empty line print "$ext"; } $comments=[]; // clear comments } // look for comments if ($line[0]==';') { // add to comments but only first 3 lines if (count($comment)<3) $comment[]=$line; //print_r($comment); } else { // non empty line? => clear comments if (trim($line)>'') $comment=[]; } } } ?> -

It's because I've been working with another language all day that uses
:=to assign a variable and not just=Takes me a few minutes to reboot my brain into php mode. :smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Just for fun I found some extensions.conf file on the net to try. It led me to add some better formatting so the output is more readable.
PS. Just a small change like this that would have caused hours of search on regex, options for grep, awk, sed etc to try and make something work. That's why I think it's easier to just go full on programming language as soon as it is more complex than just finding a few lines that matches.
I know as this is all for naught but whatever.

@Pete-S this all hit as I was commuting home.
I have a copy of the files on a server I have access to from home and will be working on this tomorrow.
Thanks.

@Pete-S Well tomorrow becamse the following Wednesday.. But. this works perfectly.
Now to figure out WTF all this stuff is that I need to replicate into FreePBX.

@JaredBusch Glad it worked as intended.
