Hi all

i have a script from which i get the output (i also save this output to a file in f1 = 20141202.194812_carStatus/):

i used: exec_cmd('cat ' + f1 + '| grep -e "CarModel = " -e "Owner_Info.User_ref = "')
but i also need the first line (actually the second) of the block
TM 05157414.06: Processing...

what i try/need to do is, parse and and get the values in a variable for each of this blocks:

TM 05120970.v1 -> car_number = 05120970.01
Owner_Info.User_ref = crossi14 -> owner_user = crossi14
CarModel = Nissan Micra -> car_model = Nissan Micra

with this information i will added some default things like:
priority = Unknown

and i will need to have this variables as input for another script called insert_owner_car.pl:

i tried using splitlines and then split after " = ", but somehow i dont get what i want, is there some other way to do this?
i really need help!
thank you

PS: i only have python 2.5.1

I'm really sorry, but what do you expect now? The only thing I can say: yes, probably there is some other way to do that.
How did you try and what, what was the result, what did you expect and what did you get?....

well i mentioned that i used the splitlines and split after the "=" sign, but it didnt work properly
i put them in a for loop, and i got all confused
so im actually looking for someone that can help me out, one way or the other

[code]
for line in f:
line = line.strip()
columns = line.split(" = ", 1)
name = columns[-1]
if name.find('status') == -1:
if name.find('-----------') == -1:
if name.find('@gmail') == -1:
print name
[code]

i need to read a block of text between two identical strings ("-----------")
and then split(" = ")
but i still cant figure out how i can get that car number thingy: 05120970.01
put everything in a loop, and repeat for each block of text
