Question

I have the following text file.

[box_1]
show ethernet 
show adjacency
show log
[box_2]
run ethernet 
run adjacency
show log

I need to write a robot file, where if it encounters [box_1], it will run,

run ethernet 
run adjacency
show log

And if it encounters [box_2], it will run the following commands under that.

This is my robot code:

${File}=    Get File  Resources\\Source\\textfile.txt
@{list}=    Split to lines  ${File}    
Log    ${list}
${op}=    Get From List ${list}    0    
log    ${op}
${first_line}=    Get Slice From List   ${list}    1
:FOR    ${line}    IN    @{first_line}
\   ${result}=    Run Keyword If    '${op}'=='[${box_1}]' and     run_command    ${line}
\   ${result}=    Run Keyword If    '${op}'=='[${box_2}]' and     run_command    ${line}

But its only taking identifying the [box_1] and not going to [box_2]. And there can be multiple number of boxes followed by the commands. Can someone please help?

Thanks.

Answer 1

You assign ${op} only once in

${op}= Get From List ${list} 0

and never change it. That is why it is always [box_1] and never becomes [box_2] . You must moe the assignment into FOR -loop and change the rest of code so that the commands between different box -es are executed.

Answer 2

Although @Psytho is right, it is not entirely sufficient to solve the issues.

In the below example I've added the required Libraries and a custom keyword to mimic the run command Operatingsystem keyword.

In this example I skip the headers and execute the commands. In a similar way you can use the value in ${match[0]} to learn which header is currently active and use it in your determination what to do.

*** Settings ***
Library    String    
Library    Collections
Library    OperatingSystem    

*** Test Cases ***
TC v1
    ${File}=    Get File  textfile.txt
    @{lines}=    Split to lines  ${File}    

    :FOR    ${line}    IN    @{lines}
    \    ${match}  Get Regexp Matches    ${line}    \\[(.*)\\]    1
    \    ${count}  Get Length    ${match}
    \    ${result}  Run Keyword If    ${count} == 0    run_custom_command    ${line}  
TC v2
    @{commands}    Get Commands    box_2    textfile.txt
    :FOR    ${command}    IN    @{commands}
    \    run_custom_command    ${command}    

    @{commands}    Get Commands    box_1    textfile.txt
    :FOR    ${command}    IN    @{commands}
    \    run_custom_command    ${command}       

*** Keywords ***
Run Custom Command
    [Arguments]    ${command}
    Log    Run Command: ${command}
    [return]    SUCCESS

Get Commands
    [Arguments]    ${ENV}    ${filepath}
    ${string}=    Get File            ${filepath}
    ${match}=     Get Regexp Matches  ${string}    \\[${ENV}\\]\\n((.|\\n)*?)(\\[|$)    1
    @{lines}=     Split to lines   ${match[0]}
    [Return]    ${lines}

EDIT: Added a second option that relies on just a regular expression.
