Use awk. Write a state machine. Switch states when you see /^!!Begin$/, record your data, and dump your output and switch back when you see /^!!End$/.
If you use Perl/Python/Ruby, you should able to use regular expression matching in one line (the matching part). Use the multiline mode where a . will match the newline character. I think awk or sed should be able to use regular expression the same way:
for example, in Ruby:
s = <<TEXT
!!Begin
Something haha
Title Good Bad Ugly
Date 1/1/2008
!!End
!!Begin
Other info
Title Iron Man
Date 2/2/2010
TEXT
result = s.scan(/^!!Begin.*?^Title\s+([^\n]*).*?^Date\s+([^\n]*)/m)
p result
result.each do |arr|
puts arr.join(' ')
end
output:
$ ruby try.rb
[["Good Bad Ugly", "1/1/2008"], ["Iron Man", "2/2/2010"]]
Good Bad Ugly 1/1/2008
Iron Man 2/2/2010
I'd use Perl with $/ = "!!End", then parse each paragraph.

Hello I am taking an example from learn python the hard way and working to understand python. I have already caught one error in the book and realized you need () to print out strings. So maybe there could be some more mistakes in the syntax. when I ran this file I received an error that said
ValueError: not enough values to pack (expected 2, got 1) syntax error. And another general syntax error. So I can't set prompt to raw_input.
rom sys import argv
script, user_name = argv
prompt = '>'
print ("Hi %s, I'm the $s script.") % user_name, script
print ("I'd like to ask you a few questions.")
print ("Do you like %s?") % user_name
likes = raw_input(prompt)
print ("Where do you live %s") % user_name
lives = raw_input(prompt)
print """
(Alright, so you said %r about liking me.
You live in %r. Not sure where that is.
And you have a %r computer. Nice)
"""& (likes, lives, computer)
Is there a typo in the code example? $s instead of %s in the format string?
I suspect that your actual code has this:
print ("Hi %s, I'm the %s script.") % user_name, script
And you meant to write this:
print "Hi %s, I'm the %s script." % (user_name, script)
That is, print a single string which is the result of applying the format string to two arguments.
I'm new to python and this site so thank-you in advance for your... understanding. This is my first attempt at a python script.
I'm having what I think is a performance issue trying to solve this problem which is causing me to not get any data back.
This code works on a small text file of a couple pages but when I try to use it on my 35MB real data text file it just hits the CPU and hasn't returned any data (>24 hours now).
Here's a snippet of the real data from the 35MB text file:

What I'm trying to copy into a new file:

My Python code is:
import re
with open('testdata.txt') as myfile:
content = myfile.read()
text = re.search(r'\d{11}.*\n.*\n.*(\d{4})\D+(\d{2})\D+(\d{1})\D+(\d{2})\D+(\d{2})\D+\d{2}\D+\d{1}', content, re.DOTALL).group()
with open("result.txt", "w") as myfile2:
myfile2.write(text)
Regex isn't the fastest way to search a string. You also compounded the problem by having a very big string (35MB). Reading an entire file into memory is generally not recommended because you may run into memory issues.
Judging from your regex pattern, it seems like you want to capture 4-line groups that start with an 11-digit string and end with some time-line string. Try this code:
import re
start_pattern = re.compile(r'^\d{11}$')
end_pattern = re.compile(r'^\d{4}\D+\d{2}\D+\d{1}\D+\d{2}\D+\d{2}\D+\d{2}\D+\d{1}$')
capturing = 0
capture = ''
with open('output.txt', 'w') as output_file:
with open('input.txt', 'r') as input_file:
for line in input_file:
if capturing > 0 and capturing <= 4:
capturing += 1
capture += line
elif start_pattern.match(line):
capturing = 1
capture = line
if capturing == 4:
if end_pattern.match(line):
output_file.write(capture + '\n')
else:
capturing = 0
It iterates over the input file, line by line. If it finds a line matching the start_pattern, it will read in 3 more. If the 4th line matches the end_pattern, it will write the whole group to the output file.
I'm moving my bookmarks from kippt.com to pinboard.in.
I exported my bookmarks from Kippt and for some reason, they were storing tags (preceded by #) and description within the same field. Pinboard keeps tags and description separated.
This is what a Kippt bookmark looks like after export:
<DT>This is a title
<DD>#tag1 #tag2 This is a description
This is what it should look like before importing into Pinboard:
<DT>This is a title
<DD>This is a description
So basically, I need to replace #tag1 #tag2 by TAGS="tag1,tag2" and move it on the first line within <A>.
I've been reading about moving chunks of data here: sed or awk to move one chunk of text betwen first pattern pair into second pair?
I haven't been to come up with a good recipe so far. Any insight?
Edit:
Here's an actual example of what the input file looks like (3 entries out of 3500):
<DT>Phabricator
<DD>#bug #tracking
<DT>The hidden commands for diagnosing and improving your Netflix streaming quality – Quartz
<DT>Icelandic Farm Holidays | Local experts in Iceland vacations
<DD>#iceland #tour #car #drive #self Self-driving tour of Iceland
This might not be the most beautiful solution, but since it seems to be a one-time-thing it should be sufficient.
import re
dt = re.compile('^<DT>')
dd = re.compile('^<DD>')
with open('bookmarks.xml', 'r') as f:
for line in f:
if re.match(dt, line):
current_dt = line.strip()
elif re.match(dd, line):
current_dd = line
tags = [w for w in line[4:].split(' ') if w.startswith('#')]
current_dt = re.sub('(<A[^>]+)>', '\\1 TAGS="' + ','.join([t[1:] for t in tags]) + '">', current_dt)
for t in tags:
current_dd = current_dd.replace(t + ' ', '')
if current_dd.strip() == '<DD>':
current_dd = ""
else:
print current_dt
print current_dd
current_dt = ""
current_dd = ""
print current_dt
print current_dd
If some parts of the code are not clear, just tell me. You can of course use python to write the lines to a file instead of printing them, or even modify the original file.
Edit: Added if-clause so that empty <DD> lines won't show up in the result.
script.awk
BEGIN{FS="#"}
/^<DT>/{
if(d==1) print "<DT>"s # for printing lines with no tags
s=substr($0,5);tags="" # Copying the line after "<DT>". You'll know why
d=1
}
/^<DD>/{
d=0
m=match(s,/>/) # Find the end of the HREF descritor first match of ">"
for(i=2;i<=NF;i++){sub(/ $/,"",$i);tags=tags","$i} # Concatenate tags
td=match(tags,/ /) # Parse for tag description (marked by a preceding space).
if(td==0){ # No description exists
tags=substr(tags,2)
tagdes=""
}
else{ # Description exists
tagdes=substr(tags,td)
tags=substr(tags,2,td-2)
}
print "<DT>" substr(s,1,m-1) ", TAGS=\"" tags "\"" substr(s,m)
print "<DD>" tagdes
}
awk -f script.awk kippt > pinboard

TOTAL rookie here.
I'm working on customizing a script made by Brett Terpstra - http://brettterpstra.com/2013/11/01/save-pocket-favorites-to-nvalt-with-ifttt-and-hazel/
Mine is a different use: I'd like to save my pinboard bookmarks with a specific tag to a file in dropbox in Markdown.
I feed it a text file such as:
Title: Yesterday is over.
URL: http://www.jonacuff.com/blog/want-to-change-the-world-get-doing/
Tags: 2md, 2wcx, 2pdf
Date: June 20, 2013 at 06:20PM
Image: notused
Excerpt: You can't start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the last one.
And it outputs the markdown file.
Everything works great except when the 'excerpt' (see above) is more than one line. Sometimes it's a couple of paragraphs. When that happens, it stops working. When I hit enter from the command line, it's still waiting for more input.
Here's an example of a file that it doesn't work on:
Title: Talking ’bout my Generation.

Excerpt: Contrast two men from the 19th century: Max Jukes and Jonathan Edwards.
Max Jukes lived in New York. He did not believe in Christ or in raising his children in the way of the Lord. He refused to take his children to church, even when they asked to go. Of his 1,026 descendants:
•300 were sent to prison for an average term of 13 years
•190 were prostitutes
•680 were admitted alcoholics
His family, thus far, has cost the state in excess of $420,000 and has made no contribution to society.
Jonathan Edwards also lived in New York, at the same time as Jukes. He was known to have studied 13 hours a day and, in spite of his busy schedule of writing, teaching, and pastoring, he made it a habit to come home and spend an hour each day with his children. He also saw to it that his children were in church every Sunday. Of his 929 descendants:
•430 were ministers
•86 became university professors
•13 became university presidents
•75 authored good books
•7 were elected to the United States Congress
•1 was Vice President of the United States
Edwards’ family never cost the state one cent.
We tend to think that our decisions only affect ourselves, but they have ramifications for generations to come.
Here's a screenshot of what it looks like after I run the command: https://www.dropbox.com/s/i9zg483k7nkdp6f/Screenshot%202013-11-22%2016.39.17.png
I'm hoping it's something easy. Any ideas?

end
How about this? Modify your input.each_line area accordingly:
headers = {}
key = nil
input.each_line do |line|
match = /^(?<key>\w+)\s*:\s*(?<value>.*)/.match(line)
value = line
if match
key = match[:key].strip
headers[key] = match[:value].strip
else
headers[key] += line
end
end
First, splitting on just ":" is dangerous since that can be in content. Instead, a (simplified from code) regex of /^\w+:.*/ will match "Word: Content". Since the lines after the "Excerpt:" aren't prefixed, you need to hang on to the last seen key, and just append if there's no key for this line. You may need to add a newline in there, depending on what you're doing with that header information, but it seems to work.
I am currently making my first python effort, a modification of some code written by a friend. I am using python 2.6.6. The original piece of code, which works, extracts information from a log file of data from donations made by credit card to my nonprofit. My new version, should it one day work, will perform the same task for donations that were made by paypal. The log files are similar, but have different field names and other differences.
The error messages I'm getting are:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "../logparse-paypal-1.py", line 196, in
convert_log(sys.argv[1], sys.argv[2], access_ids)
File "../logparse-paypal-1.py", line 170, in convert_log
output = [f(record, access_ids) for f in output_fns]
TypeError: 'str' object is not callable
I've read some of the posts on this forum related to this error message, but so far I'm still at sea. I can't find any consequential differences between the portions of my code that related to the likely problem object (access_ids) and the code that I started with. All I did related to the access_ids table was to remove some lines that printed problems the script finds with the table that caused it to ignore some data. Perhaps I changed a character or something while doing that, but I've looked and so far can't find anything.
The portion of the code that is producing these error messages is the following:
# Use the output functions configured above to convert the
# transaction record into a list of outputs to be emitted to
# the CSV output file.
print "Converting %s at %s to CSV" % (record["type"], record["time"])
output = [f(record, access_ids) for f in output_fns]
j = 0
while j < len(output):
os.write(csv_fd, output[j])
if j < len(output) - 1:
os.write(csv_fd, ",")
else:
os.write(csv_fd, "\n")
j += 1
convert_count += 1
print "Converted %d approved transactions to CSV format, skipped %d non-approved transactions" % (convert_count, skip_count)

sys.exit(-1)
access_ids = {}
if len(sys.argv) > 3:
access_ids = load_access_ids(sys.argv[3])
convert_log(sys.argv[1], sys.argv[2], access_ids)
Line 170 is this one:
output = [f(record, access_ids) for f in output_fns]
and line 196 is this one:
convert_log(sys.argv[1], sys.argv[2], access_ids)
The access_ids definition, possibly related to the problem, is this:
def access_id_fn(record, access_ids):
if "payer_email" in record and len(record["payer_email"]) > 0:
if record["payer_email"] in access_ids:
return '"' + access_ids[record["payer_email"]] + '"'
else:
return ""
else:
return ""
AND
def load_access_ids(filename):
print "Loading Access IDs from %s..." % filename
access_ids = {}
for line in open(filename, "r"):
line = line.rstrip()
access_id, email = [s.strip() for s in line.split(None, 1)]
if not email_address.match(email):
continue
if email in access_ids:
access_ids[string.strip(email)] = string.strip(access_id)
return access_ids
Thanks in advance for any advice with this.

I'm not seeing anything right off hand, but you did mention that the log files were similar and I take that to mean that there are differences between the two.
Can you post a line from each?
I would double check the data in the log files and make sure what you think is being read in is correct. This definitely appears to me like a piece of data is being read in, but somewhere it is breaking what the code is expecting.
