quickly read a formated file?

[lialie]

Hi,
Is there a fine way to read a formated file like:
%HEADER
title = "Untilted"
username = "User"

%DATA
.......
.......
The formated file may be very popularly, but the module ConfigPaser
doesn't handle it. Is there a way to process it freely?

First try, assuming the input file can be read whole. The code isn't
much readable, it needs better variable names (name names?), comments,
etc.

data = """
%HEADER
title1 = "Untilted1"
username = "User1"

%DATA
title2 = "Untilted2"
username2 = "User2"
"""

l1 = (p.strip().splitlines() for p in data.split("%") if p.strip())
result = {}
for part in l1:
pairs1 = (pair.split('=') for pair in part[1:])
pairs2 = ((k.strip(), v.strip().strip('"')) for k,v in pairs1)
result[part[0]] = dict(pairs2)
print result


All done lazily for your better comfort

Bye,
bearophile

print result

If there could be embedded perecent signs in the data, that will
produce some unexpected results, though. Here's another shot:

data = """
%HEADER
title1 = "Untilted1"
username = "User1"

%DATA
title2 = "The 7% Solution"
username2 = "User2"
"""

# Assumes there may be embedded percent signs in data
# and all data lines are of the form key = value
def parseData(data):
pd = {}
idata = iter(data)
for line in idata:
line = line.strip()
if line.startswith('%'):
tname = line[1:]
cd = pd[tname] = {}
line = idata.next().strip()
while line != '':
if line.find('=') > 0:
id,val = line.split('=',1)
cd[id.strip()] = val.strip().strip('"')
line = idata.next().strip()
return pd


print parseData(data.split('\n'))

The solution of bearophile only needs 2 small modifications to handle this:

#=========================================
data = """
%HEADER
title1 = "Untilted1"
username = "User1 20 %"

%DATA
title2 = "Untilted2"
username2 = "User2 10 %"
"""

# Ensure data starts with a newline
data = '\n' + data

# Split using '\n%' instead of '%'
l1 = (p.strip().splitlines() for p in data.split("\n%") if p.strip())
result = {}
for part in l1:
pairs1 = (pair.split('=') for pair in part[1:])
pairs2 = ((k.strip(), v.strip().strip('"')) for k,v in pairs1)
result[part[0]] = dict(pairs2)
print result
#=========================================
