Hi A short newbie question. I would like to extract some values from a given text file directly into python variables. Can this be done simply by either standard library or other libraries? Some pointers where to get started would be much appreciated.
An example text file: ----------- Some text that can span some lines. Apples 34 56 Ducks Some more text. 0.5 g butter ----------------- What I first though was if there was possible to make a filter such as: Apples (apples) (ducks) Ducks (butter) g butter The data can be put in a hash table. Or maybe there are better ways? I generally want something that is flexible so one can easily make a filter settings if the text file format changes.
