how to display a text in a more readable format in python?

Question

I'm very new to python

and I have diff text like this

   <revision>
-    <count>22</count>
+    <count>33</count>
   </revision>

this is config file changes

everywhere that you + means line added

and everywhere that you see - means something removed

it is like git.

the problem is that above text is not readable.

I want something like this:

revision->count : 22 (old) 33 (new)

so , how can I start for doing that?

is it needed to use library?

Answer 1

you can use split function:

a = string.split('<count>')
b, c = a[1], a[3]
final = 'revision->count : {} (old) {} (new)'.format(int(b), int(c))
