Forgive me for the newbie question; I'm sure there must be an easy way
to do this in python:
I have a database string that I'm grabbing from a file with readlines():
db.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL =
TCP)(HOST = server.company.com)(PORT =1521)) (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL =
TCP)(HOST = server.company.com)(PORT = 1521)) (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL
=TCP)(HOST = server.company.com)(PORT = 1521)) (LOAD_BALANCE = ON)
(FAILOVER = ON) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME =
PROD2) (FAILOVER_MODE = (TYPE = SELECT) (METHOD = BASIC) (RETRIES =
180) (DELAY = 5))))
I want to extract the service name, PROD2 from the string. Normally
I'd do this with sed or awk, but I'm trying to get away from using
OS-dependent tools with Popen, etc. What would be the most efficient
way to grab "PROD2" from this string of text?
Assuming you've got that string in variable text, and that "SERVICE_NAME
=" is there to be found, I'd do something like
servicename = text.split("SERVICE_NAME =")[1].split(")")[0]
