You want to find strings on multiple lines of a file, and possible multiple
string groups within a file (you didn't say). So you will have to check each
line and store anything you want to keep for each file, and you will have to
add the code to cycle through the files, so it is something along the lines of.
def find_a_string(string_in, rec):
return_str=""
string_len=len(string_in)
if string_in in rec:
location=rec.find(string_in)
start=location+string_len
## go until you find a space or end of line
for letter in rec[start:]:
if len(letter.strip()):
return_str += letter
else:
return return_str
return return_str
test_file=test_data.split("\n") ## turn into data like file_handle.readlines()
found_dict={}
for rec in test_file:
if len(rec.strip()):
for str in ("offset=", "Data before corruption : ", "size="):
found=find_a_string(str, rec)
if len(found):
found_dict[str]=found
## assume this always comes after the above strings in the file
if "Corrupting disk object 6 at 1,1,25296896:8192" in rec:
print "object 1,1,25296896:8192",
for key in found_dict:
print key.strip(), found_dict[key],
print
