Hi everyone,
My goal is to pull command switches/options from a file and then assign
the values to select variables which would eventually be included in a
class object.
The data file looks something like this but the switches could be in any
order and not all may be used.
-m quemanager -s server -p port -k key -o object -c 20 -t [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Also, please keep in mind that the source code will have more than one
line in it and each has to be treaded separately.
In a first pass, I wrote the following code which works but there is
probably a better way of doing it.
Any ideas to make it more efficient/stream-lined would be greatly
appreciated.
#!/usr/bin/python
import string
inp = open("const.txt","r")
#
# Read File
#
while True:
#
# Get line from file
#
line=inp.readline()
#
# Check for EOF or break line up to extract relevant pieces
#
if len(line) == 0:
break
else:
split_line=line.split()
length=len(split_line)
count=0
#
# Evaluate list item and assign variable based on its contents
# Print statements are for debugging purposes only
#
for i in range(length):
if split_line[count] == "-m":
qmgr=split_line[count+1]
print "Queue Manager",qmgr;
elif split_line[count] == "-s":
server=split_line[count+1]
print "Server",server;
elif split_line[count] == "-p":
port=split_line[count+1]
print "Port",port;
elif split_line[count] == "-o":
object=split_line[count+1]
print "Object",object;
elif split_line[count] == "-k":
key=split_line[count+1]
print "Key",key;
elif split_line[count] == "-t":
mto=split_line[count+1]
print "To",mto;
elif split_line[count] == "-c":
check=split_line[count+1]
print "Check",check;
elif split_line[count] == "-d":
report=""
print "Report",report;
elif split_line[count] == "-q":
display=False
print "Display",display;
else:
continue
count=count+1
# Close input file
#
inp.close()
