Hey;
I have a multi-line string that's the result of reading a file filled with
'dirty' text. I read the file in one swoop to make data cleanup a bit easier -
getting rid of extraneous tabs, spaces, newlines, etc. That part's done.
Now, I want to collect data in each section of the data. Sections are started
with a specific header and end when the next header is found.
^1\. Upgrade to the latest version of Apache HTTPD
^2\. Disable insecure TLS/SSL protocol support
^3\. Disable SSLv2, SSLv3, and TLS 1.0. The best solution is to only have TLS
1.2 enabled
^4\. Disable HTTP TRACE Method for Apache
[[snip]]
There's something like 60 lines of worthless text before that first header line
so I thought I'd skip through them with:
x=0 # Current index
hx=1 # human readable index
rgs = '^' + str(hx) + r'\. ' + monster['vulns'][x]
hdr = re.compile(rgs)
for l in data.splitlines():
while not hdr.match(l):
next(l)
print(l)
which resulted in a typeerror stating that str is not an iterator. More
googling resulted in:
iterobj = iter(data.splitlines())
for l in iterobj:
while not hdr.match(l):
next(iterobj)
print(l)
I'm hoping to see that first header; however, I'm getting another error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./testies.py", line 30, in <module>
next(iterobj)
StopIteration
I'm not quite sure what that means... Does that mean I got to the end of data
w/o finding my header?
Thanks for any hints/tips/suggestions.
