PHP Code:


			
<?php

//Read the file line by line into an array
$lines = file( '/path/to/file.txt' );

//Loop over the array by line
foreach( $lines as $line )
{
    $parts = array();

    //Explode each line into exactly 3 parts by a space.
    //Allows the definition to have multiple words separated by spaces.
    $parts = explode( ' ', $line, 3 );

    //Print out the three resulting parts
    echo 'Word: ' . $parts[0] . '<br />';
    echo 'Type: ' . $parts[1] . '<br />';
    echo 'Definition: ' . $parts[2] . '<br />';
}

If the second part is an abbreviation like n. v. adj. or something of that sort, you can strip the period of the second part that is returned from the explode function
