Yes.

Or you could output it all to a new txt file by making a few modifcations

PHP Code:

<?php
  $contents = file_get_contents("filename.txt");
  $line_by_line = explode("\n", $contents);
  array_pop($line_by_line); // get rid of the empty line at the end that explode creates
  $results = array();

  $new_contents = '';
  foreach ($line_by_line as $line) {
    list ($url, $title, $description) = explode("|", $line);
    $new_contents .= "$title|$url|$description\n";
  }

  $file = fopen("new-filename.txt");
  fwrite($file, $new_contents);
  fclose($file);
?>
