The output of ompi_info --parsable is somewhat difficult to parse programmatically because it doesn't escape or quote fields that contain colons, e.g.,
build:timestamp:Tue Dec 23 15:47:28 EST 2014 option:threads:posix (MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE: no, OPAL support: yes, OMPI progress: no, ORTE progress: yes, Event lib: yes) Is there some way to facilitate machine parsing of the output of ompi_info without having to special-case those options/parameters whose data fields might contain colons ? If not, it would be nice to quote such fields in future releases of ompi_info. -- Lev Givon Bionet Group | Neurokernel Project http://www.columbia.edu/~lev/ http://lebedov.github.io/ http://neurokernel.github.io/
