print found
I want to read '===== BOOT TIME STATS =====' this line and print the lines that are below till next line
please help
I'm guessing you want to print the lines between the first and second occurrences of the given string:
read_file = open ('C:\Users\Mahya\Desktop\\automate\Autosupports\\at1.txt','r')
content = read_file.readlines()
found = False
for line in content:
if line.contains('===== BOOT TIME STATS ====='):
if found:
break # Exit the for loop when finding the string for the second time
found = True
if found:
print line
Without testing:
read_file = open ('C:\Users\Mahya\Desktop\\automate\Autosupports\\at1.txt','r')
content = read_file.readlines()
i_found_the_block = False
for line in content:
if "===== BOOT TIME STATS =====" in line:
print ("found")
i_found_the_block = True
if i_found_the_block:
print line
with-statement, and iterate over the file directly instead of using readlines(), this would be fine.file = open ('C:\Users\Mahya\Desktop\\automate\Autosupports\\at1.txt','r')
for line in file:
if '===== BOOT TIME STATS =====' in line: break
for line in file:
if 'i wanna stop here' in line: break
print line
def lineRange(lines, start, end):
"""Return all lines from the first line containing start
up to (but not including) the first ensuing line containing end
"""
lines = iter(lines)
# find first occurrence of start
for line in lines:
if start in line:
yield line
break
# continue until first occurrence of end
for line in lines:
if end in line:
break
else:
yield line
def main():
fname = 'C:/Users/Mahya/Desktop/automate/Autosupports/at1.txt'
start = '===== BOOT TIME STATS ====='
end = start # next section header?
with open(fname) as inf:
lr = lineRange(inf, start, end)
try:
lr.next() # skip header
print ''.join(lr)
except StopIteration:
print 'Start string not found'
if __name__=="__main__":
main()
