Hello everybody, I am trying to divide a configuration file (configs) in the form of:
<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx> ServerAdmin webmas...@foo.com ServerName www.foo.com DocumentRoot /home/public/web/htdocs/foo.com ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/public/web/htdocs/foo.com/cgi-bin/ </VirtualHost> [...] <VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx> ServerAdmin webmas...@bar.com ServerName www.bar.com DocumentRoot /home/public/web/htdocs/bar.com/ </VirtualHost> [...] into different individual config files for the different domains. In a different file (sites), I've got a list of domains. foo.com example.com blabla.com [...] I've approached this problem by creating first a list of all the config "chunks" with this piece of code: #!/usr/bin/python token = '\n' chunks = [] current_chunk = [] for line in open('configs'): if line.startswith(token) and current_chunk: # if line starts with token and the current chunk is not empty chunks.append(current_chunk[:]) # add not empty chunk to chunks current_chunk = [] # make current chunk blank # just append a line to the current chunk on each iteration current_chunk.append(line) chunks.append(current_chunk) # append the last chunk outside the loop Dividing the chunks of confg by blank line: token='\n' into a list of lists. And now I am stuck trying to iterate through the chunks list, and iterate through the sites file trying to find the "site" string and if found, print the entire "chunk", which will be send to a personal site configuration file. Like so: for item in chunks: #print item for line in open('sites'): #print line for i in item: if line not in i: continue else: print item break I don't get the results that I am expecting. Is is the right way to approach this problem? Any direction will be very helpful.
