The code is given below. Here i try to extract lines that are between the
two patterns atomtype and mol.type
#!/usr/bin/env python
import re
mypat=re.compile(r'^[ atomtypes ]$[ moleculetype ]',re.MULTILINE)
data=open('test.dat').read()
extr=re.findall(mypat,data)
print extr
The data file is something like the following,
[ defaults ]
; nbfunc comb-rule gen-pairs fudgeLJ fudgeQQ
1 2 no 0.5 0.8333
[ atomtypes ]
;name bond_type mass charge ptype
N3 N3 0.00000 0.00000 A
H H 0.00000 0.00000 A
CT CT 0.00000 0.00000 A
HP HP 0.00000 0.00000 A
O2 O2 0.00000 0.00000 A
[ moleculetype ]
;name nrexcl
