Hi List, I am using python to run command line utilities on Linux machine. I came across textfsm and feel that it fits my requirements.
Here is the structure of the output from the 2 utilities Command 1: Id Address Port Location State Tenant count Max tenants Description -- ---------- ---- -------- ------ ------------ ----------- ------------ 1 10.0.32.20 8443 - ACTIVE 7 12 - 2 10.0.32.21 8443 - ACTIVE 7 12 - 3 10.0.32.22 8443 - ACTIVE 7 12 - Command 2: 1 2012-04-04 19:54 00DD0000000q3di GOLD Company 1 CA360 ACTIVE Yes https://10.0.32.26:7000 8 50 17 2012-04-09 23:01 00Dd0000000efRF SILVER Company 2 CA360 ACTIVE Yes https://10.0.32.20:7014 1 440 27 2012-04-10 03:42 00Dd0000000efdS TRIAL Company 3 CA360 ACTIVE Yes https://10.0.32.23:7021 4 10 32 2012-04-11 11:24 00Dd0000000eiGb TRIAL Company 4 CA360 INACTIVE Yes https://10.0.32.21:7000 2 25 I found this link documenting how to parse tabular data: http://code.google.com/p/textfsm/wiki/TextFSMCodeLab#Parsing_tabular_data My question is, what is the syntax of the pattern matching used. Is it the same as python regexp? Any other documentation/examples available for this library? I'm also open to suggestions of using other libraries. Basically, I would like this to be semantically as close as possible to working with data extracted from a database. Thanks and regards, Ferdi
