Hi, I have a setup file for some numerical simulation code written in C that looks like this:
dt 0.1 time 0.0 nupdate 10 noutput 100 ntotal 10000 G 39.476926421373015 Sun 1.00000597682 mplanet 9.547861040430418e-4 3.409530427945 3.635870038323 .03424028779975 -2.0471057839802485 2.0178211484578044 -9.730193916219667e-4 mplanet 2.8558373315055975e-4 6.612079829705 6.386934883415 -.1361443021015 -1.5268292602445992 1.4623064051166743 6.108354829704997e-3 mplanet 4.372731645458918e-5 11.16769742623 16.04343604329 .3617849409933 -1.1927379555398092 .7563317049955387 -7.950313544811802e-3 particle 5.0 0.2 10.5 0.0 0.0 10.0 particle 6.0 0.1 5.5 0.0 180.0 -10.0 there can be any number of mplanet and particle enteries in the the file. As I am working on porting this code to python I am trying to figure out an efficient way of parsing such data into the program. I have the freedom to play around with the setup file(s) which is nice. I have played around with cfgparse, which I like, and made a file like this [DEFAULT] dt = 0.1 time = 0.0 and so on, but that does not give me a good way of parsing in the list of mplanets and particles. I can write my own little parser to handle a file that contains only the mplanets or particles, but I am wondering if there are any parsers out there that will handle this type of data? Or is there a way to organize my setup file that would simplify the input that I am missing? Cheers Tommy -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
