Hi everyone,
firstly the description of my problem. I have a string in the following form:
s = "name1 name2(1) name3 name4 (1, 4) name5(2) ..."
that is a string made up of groups in the form 'name' (letters only) plus
possibly a tuple containing 1 or 2 integer values. Blanks can be placed between
names and tuples or not, but they surely are placed beween two groups. I would
like to process this string in order to get a dictionary like this:
d = {
"name1":(0, 0),
"name2":(1, 0),
"name3":(0, 0),
"name4":(1, 4),
"name5":(2, 0),
}
I guess this problem can be tackled with regular expressions,
Stop there! :)
I'd use string functions. If you can control the string output to drop
the spaces and always output in namex(a,b)<space>namey(c,d)... format,
try starting with
>>> "name1 name2(1) name3 name4(1,4) name5(2)".split()
['name1', 'name2(1)', 'name3', 'name4(1,4)', 'name5(2)']
then create the dict from the result.
