Hi All, Long time reader, first time poster. I'm trying to parse the output of the SHOW IP ROUTE command from a cisco router (It's a 3800 Series IOS 12.4 although almost all should have same output format) and put it into a CSV format to import into a database or spreadsheet. While we of course have Static / Connected routes, we also have lots of dynamic routing coming in via OSPF, BGP, RIP, etc...
The output of the command is easy enough for me to get into text files via parimiko (on that, does this module or equivalent work on Python 3 yet?) .. it's just tough to present the data into a csv or tabbed format. To me, although I've done similar things in the past, it's a fairly brutal output format to parse up. I was about to post some sample input, but I am even having a hard time sanitizing the IP's for use on this forum (Any utility for that?) as it's filled with IP addresses that I cannot share. I'd love some python module if anyone has an idea where I can get it? Perl does seem to have something similar : http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/MARKPF/Cisco-ShowIPRoute-Parser-1.02/Parser.pm however, I'd like to keep it in python... Mainly, did someone already do this so I don't have to reinvent this wheel (which probably won't roll straight)? Thanks in advance, and hopefully I've given enough information.. I've been trying to parse it for about 9 hours... but the script get's worse and worse as I keep finding flaws in my logic. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
