Hi, ALL,
I'm trying to process a file which has following lines:

192.168.1.6 > 192.168.1.7: ICMP echo request, id 100, seq 200, length 30

(this is the text file out of tcpdump)


Now I can esily split the line twice: once by ':' symbol to separate
address and the protocol information and the second time by ',' to get
information about the protocol.
However, I don't need all the protocol info. All I'm interested in is
the last field, which is length.



Is there a way to write something like this:


for data in f:
      (address,traffic) = string.split(data, ':')
      length = string.split(traffic, ',')[3]



I'm interesred in only one element, so why should care about everything else?
This can be easily done in Perl, but I'm stuck with Python now. ;-)


data="192.168.1.6 > 192.168.1.7: ICMP echo request, id 100, seq 200, length 30"
(add,traff) = data.split(':')
add
'192.168.1.6 > 192.168.1.7'
traff
' ICMP echo request, id 100, seq 200, length 30'
lenn = traff.split(',')
lenn = traff.split(',')[3]
lenn
' length 30'

What if I want field 2 and field 3? ("seq 200" and "length 30")

Thank you.

Please do a little work before asking such a trivial question, it's hardly difficult from the interactive interpreter, particularly when you already have an example to start with.

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask what you can do for our language.
