I am having a problem reading specific lines. It's similar to the question answered here: python - Read file from and to specific lines of text The difference, I don't have a fixed end mark. Let me show an example:
--------------------------------
\n
***** SOMETHING ***** # i use this as my start
\n
--------------------------------
\n
data of interest
data of interest
data of interest
\n
----------------------- #this will either be dashes, or EOF
***** SOMETHING *****
-----------------------
I tried doing something similar to the above link, but I can't create a if statement to break the loop since I don't know if it will be the EOF or not.
How about this:
def getBlocks(filepath):
with open(filepath) as f:
blocks = []
go = False
for line in f:
if line.strip() == startDelimiter:
block = ''
go = True
if go:
block += line
if line.strip() == endDelimiter:
blocks.append(block)
block = ''
go = False
if block:
blocks.append(block)
return blocks
The beauty is that if you hit EOF, the file will stop iterating.
ended = False
for line in f:
ended = line == MY_END_MARKER
Couldn't you just do
parts = my_file.read().split("-----------------------")
print parts
