Re: extract to dictionaries

Hello
I have simple text file that I have to parse. It looks something like
this:

parameters1
     key1 value1
     key2 value2
end

parameters2
     key1 value1
     key2 value2
end

So I want to create two dictionaries parameters1={key1:value1,
key2:value2} and the same for parameters2.

I woud appreciate any help that could help me solve this.
Thank you

Assuming you've read the above into paramFile...

for dictvals in [xx.split() for xx in paramFile.split("end") if xx]:
    locals()[dictvals[0]]=dict(zip(dictvals[1::2],dictvals[2::2]))

You-can't-really-call-this-helping-ly yrs,

Emile
