Hi,
I have a string (see below) and ideally I would like to pull out the
decimal number which follows the bounding coordinate information. For
example ideal from this string I would return...
s = '\nGROUP = ARCHIVEDMETADATA\n
GROUPTYPE = MASTERGROUP\n\n GROUP =
BOUNDINGRECTANGLE\n\n OBJECT =
NORTHBOUNDINGCOORDINATE\n NUM_VAL = 1\n
VALUE = 19.9999999982039\n END_OBJECT =
NORTHBOUNDINGCOORDINATE\n\n OBJECT =
SOUTHBOUNDINGCOORDINATE\n NUM_VAL = 1\n
VALUE = 9.99999999910197\n END_OBJECT =
SOUTHBOUNDINGCOORDINATE\n\n OBJECT =
EASTBOUNDINGCOORDINATE\n NUM_VAL = 1\n
VALUE = 10.6506458717851\n END_OBJECT =
EASTBOUNDINGCOORDINATE\n\n OBJECT =
WESTBOUNDINGCOORDINATE\n NUM_VAL = 1\n
VALUE = 4.3188348375893e-15\n END_OBJECT
= WESTBOUNDINGCOORDINATE\n\n END_GROUP
NORTHBOUNDINGCOORDINATE = 19.9999999982039
SOUTHBOUNDINGCOORDINATE = 9.99999999910197
EASTBOUNDINGCOORDINATE = 10.6506458717851
WESTBOUNDINGCOORDINATE = 4.3188348375893e-15
so far I have only managed to extract the numbers by doing re.findall
("[\d.]*\d", s), which returns
['1',
'19.9999999982039',
'1',
'9.99999999910197',
'1',
'10.6506458717851',
'1',
'4.3188348375893',
'15',
etc.
Now the first problem that I can see is that my string match chops off
the "e-15" part and I am not sure how to incorporate the potential for
that in my pattern match. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I
could also match this? Ideally I would have a statement which printed
the number between the two bounding coordinate strings for example
NORTHBOUNDINGCOORDINATE\n NUM_VAL = 1\n
VALUE = 19.9999999982039\n END_OBJECT =
NORTHBOUNDINGCOORDINATE\n\n
Something that matched "NORTHBOUNDINGCOORDINATE" and printed the
decimal number before it hit the next string
"NORTHBOUNDINGCOORDINATE". But I am not sure how to do this. any
suggestions would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Martin
