PHP

define('DB_NAME', 'example1');
/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'example2');
/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'example3');
/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'example4');
/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
/** The Database Collate type. Don't change this if in doubt. */
define('DB_COLLATE', '');

This is a block of code in my wordpresse's wp-config.php file. I have wrote a c# app to download this file via ftp. But how can I manipulate the file so that I get

$db_name = "example1";
$db_user = "example2";
$db_password = "example3";.......

Thanks

with the Replace method on the string class, at first, you'll need some more basic string mashing to turn DB_NAME into $db_name, but it's possible. You can turn

define('DB_NAME', 'example1');

into

DB_NAME = "example1";

with the replace method. Then use Split to split on the =. Then use ToLower to turn DB_NAME into db_name. Put a $ in front and replace the = between and you are done.
