I am learning python and I am having to make some changes on an existing
python script. What happens is that one scripts creates an xml document
that looks like this:
<CommitOperation
file="IPM2.1/Identity/IdentityWebApp/Source/com/fisc/prioss/dataservice/
component/profile ProfileUtil.java" message="PATCH_BRANCH: N/A
BUG_NUMBER: N/A FEATURE_AFFECTED: N/A OVERVIEW: Changes for not
including the product configuration account, idmconfig in searches. ""
module="IPM2.1"
The first attribute "file" as you can see shows the path where the file
is and then a space and the actual file name. This is put into a
variable named file. Then in the script, there is a method called that
passes in this variable. The first line in the method called is this:
reg = re.compile(r'[\\]+[ ]+')
I'm not 100% sure what this is doing, but I believe it is trying to
parse the file variable so that you only get the file name. It is weird
because this had been working just fine until about 2 months ago then it
just started not parsing anything. If anyone can help please help:-)
==================================================
I have no idea what changed, but splitting the file var into its two
components is trivial:
>>> "IPM2.1/Identity/IdentityWebApp/Source/com/fisc/prioss/dataservice/component/profile
>>>
>>> ProfileUtil.java".split()
['IPM2.1/Identity/IdentityWebApp/Source/com/fisc/prioss/dataservice/component/profile',
'ProfileUtil.java']
If the ' ' were a '/' instead, then the os.path module has a function for
splitting off the last component, the file name.
