That's the code I'm using to extract the data I want

for line in shakes:

        f.write(line)  
        f.close()

That's my result. here I need to clear everything that comes before 1CAM on the string and get it clear for the sorting, and I need a result like this:

So, I know I could use [x:x] to clear star or end characters, but my input data sometimes add or remove characters before the 1CAM header and this way isn't reliable, I need to write the lines with the '1CAM' on.

Suggestions?

Answer 1

I've printed it instead of writing to a file.

Please check it

import re

shakes = open("rawcam.txt", "r")

for line in shakes:

    m = re.match(".*(1CAM[^'\"]+)", line)
    if m:
        print(m.group(1))

Ouput

python rawcam.py

Answer 2

Thanks Alexandr, I took your code and pieced together what I was missing to get the output I wanted, I'll post it here in case anyone ever need it. It saves a txt file, from the argument on with the datetime.

import re
import datetime

shakes = open("rawcam.txt", "r")
filename = datetime.datetime.now()

for line in shakes:

m = re.match(".*(1CAM[^'\"]+)", line)
if m:
    print((m.group(1)),line[0:-2], file=open(filename.strftime("%d %B %Y")+"1CAMRAW.txt", "a+"))

Once again, thanks a bunch
