Hi,
I am trying to split up the re pattern for Apache log file format and seem
to be having some trouble in getting Python to understand multi-line
pattern:
#!/usr/bin/python
import re
#this is a single line
string = '192.168.122.3 - - [29/Sep/2013:03:52:33 -0700] "GET / HTTP/1.0"
302 276 "-" "check_http/v1.4.16 (nagios-plugins 1.4.16)"'
#trying to break up the pattern match for easy to read code
pattern = re.compile(r'(?P<ip>\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3})\s+'
r'(?P<ident>\-)\s+'
r'(?P<username>\-)\s+'
r'(?P<TZ>\[(.*?)\])\s+'
r'(?P<url>\"(.*?)\")\s+'
r'(?P<httpcode>\d{3})\s+'
r'(?P<size>\d+)\s+'
r'(?P<referrer>\"\")\s+'
r'(?P<agent>\((.*?)\))')
match = re.search(pattern, string)
if match:
print match.group('ip')
else:
print 'not found'
The python interpreter is skipping to the 'math = re.search' and then the
'if' statement right after it looks at the <ip>, instead of moving onto
<ident> and so on.

-> match = re.search(pattern, string)
(Pdb)
Thank you.
