I was trying to write a function that will return me the unique number
associated with each employee id.The command has the output in the below
pattern
Linux-Box-1# employee_details ls
List of names:
100910bd9 s7018
100d60003 s7019
110610bd3 s7020
100d60002 s7021
Linux-Box-1# employee_details ls | grep "s7020" | awk '{print $1}'
100d60003
It's a one liner in Shell :)
I tried converting the same in the python style , Any better suggestion
and loop holes in the below program
def get_unique_number(str(emp_id)):
""" Return the unique number associated with each employee id """
out, err, rc = run("employee_details ls", timeout=600)
emp_unum=""
if rc != 0:
return False
for line in out.split('\n'):
if emp_id in line:
emp_unum = line.split()[0]
return emp_unum
I am on Python 2.7 and Linux OS

Ganesh
