I've got a string which (without any CR or LF) consists of
'attribute1=attribute_value;attribute2=attribute_value2; ...'
and I want them to read in a dictionary so that the attribute name is
the key and the attribute value is the data.
Any ideas for an implementation?
Greetings and thanks
Split the string on the semicolons, then split each resulting string on
the equals, then pass the result to dict. You can use a generator
expression for this (or a list comprehension if it's an old version of
Python). If the string has a trailing semicolon then you should strip
that off first.
This all assumes that the values themselves don't contain semicolons or
equals.
