Hi,
I am having an issue with something that would seemtohave an easy
solution,butwhich escapes me. I have configuration files that I would
like to parse. The data I am having issue with is a multi-line
attribute that has the following structure:
banner <option> <banner text delimiter>
Banner text
Banner text
Banner text
...
<banner text delimiter>
The regex 'banner\s+(\w+)\s+(.+)' captures the command nicely and
banner.group(2) captures the delimiter nicely.
My issue is that I need to capture the lines between the delimiters
(both delimiters are the same).
I have tried various permutations of
Delimiter=banner.group(2)
re.findall(Delimiter'(.*?)'Delimiter, line, re.DOTALL|re.MULTILINE)
with no luck
Examples I have found online all assume that the starting and ending
delimiters are different and are defined directly in re.findall(). I
would like to use the original regex extracting the banner.group(2),
since it is already done, if possible.
Any help in pointing me in the right direction would be most appreciated.
Thank you,
Marc
What was wrong with the answer Peter Otten gave you earlier today on the
