This is an alternative solution someone else posted on this list for a
similar problem I had:
#!/usr/bin/python3
from itertools import groupby
def get_lines_from_file(file_name):
with open(file_name) as reader:
for line in reader.readlines():
yield(line.strip())
counter = 0
def key_func(x):
if x.strip().startswith("banner") and x.strip().endswith("<banner text
delimiter>"):
global counter
counter += 1
return counter
for key, group in groupby(get_lines_from_file("my_data"), key_func):
print(list(group)[1:-1])
