[Tutor] Removing open bracket, content, close bracket content...
Hi,I am new to Python and trying to create a script that will remove content
wrapped in brackets.For example I want to remove from each line the
following:[!L] [20][!20+:2]etc
But when I run my script I only get the last line of the content. It is correct
as far as the output I want, but I don't understand why the other lines
disappear.
Here is my data:
[!L]KEXITSETUP=Exit Setup[20]KEXITPSSETUP=Exit PS Setup[20]KEXITCOLSETUP=Exit
Color SetupKSERVERSETUP=Server Setup[!L]KPRINTERSETUP=Printer
Setup[!L]KNETWORKSETUP=Network Setup[!L]KJOBLOGSETUP=Job Log
Setup[!L]KLANGUAGESETUP=Language Setup[!L]KCHANGEPASSWRD=Change
Password[!L]KCLRSRVR=Clear Server[!L]KFACTORYDFLT=Factory
DefaultsSETUPB1=Setup[20+:2]KPSERROR=Print to PS
Error[20+:2]PSERROR=Print to PS Error[20+:2]EFPSError=Print to
PS Error
Here is the
script I have so far (remember I am new):
import re
with open("lcd_eng.dct") as f: with open("out.txt", "w") as f1: for
line in f: if f == 0 or not line.lstrip().startswith('#'):
f1.write(line)
# Converts the = sign to a , comma for generation of the .csv filef =
open("out.txt",'r')filedata = f.read()f.close()newdata =
filedata.replace("=",",")f = open("out2.txt",'w')f.write(newdata)f.close()
# Should strip out anything [...] f1 = open("out2.txt",'r')newdata =
f1.read()f1.close()newdata = re.sub(r'\[[^>]*\]', '', newdata)f1 =
open("end.txt",'w')f1.write(newdata)f1.close()
The output I get is only the last line of the input file. Not sure why. I know
the issue is in the search and replace, but I am not sure where.
Thanks for any and all help.Very much appreciated.Sam

[Tutor] Combine Scripts to Work Together...
Hi,I am new to Python, but learning. (Hopefully the layout is readable)
I am having trouble getting two scripts to work together. What I want to do is
have the combinded script do the following:
1. Read through a directory of xml files, not a single file, but many xml
files.2. Read each files contents.3. Pull out the element content
(words between open and close tag)
* For example: Sam was here.
* The script would pull out the content "Sam was here" and print it to a
file.
My scripts so
far:--Script to get
content--import
xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
tree = ET.parse('TEST.xml')
root = tree.getroot()for uicontrol in root.iter('uicontrol'):
print(uicontrol.text)
--Script to read
through the
files:--import sys
import glob
import errnopath
='/Users/sastarfa/Documents/Projects/Script-projects/Scripts/Pull-out-terms-between-elements/*.xml'
files = glob.glob(path)
for name in files: # 'file' is a builtin type, 'name' is a
less-ambiguousvariable name.
try:
with open(name) as f: # Noneed to specify 'r': this is the default.
sys.stdout.write(f.read())
This is the area I get stuck. I can understand, write a script to run on one a
single file you input into the script, but getting a script to run on a
directory I am not understanding how to do this.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.Really appreciate the help.

[Tutor] Can This Script Be Modified to Read Many Files?..
Hi,I am very new to Python, but having fun learning.
I need to have a script read all of the XML files contents that are in a
directory, pull out the contents of an element, in my case , and
list them in an output file. I have this script that does exactly what I need.
But in my beginning Python class we didn't go over reading all files, only one
file at a time.
Can the below script be modified to scan/read all of the XML files in a
directory instead of just the file typed into the script? If so, how do I do
this?
Thanks for all the help.Sam
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ETtree = ET.parse('TEST.xml') <-- Want to
read all the files in directory, not type in the filename.root = tree.getroot()
for uicontrol in root.iter('uicontrol'): print(uicontrol.text)

Re: [Tutor] Removing Content from Lines....
Thanks to all who responded. I will try the suggestions and see if I can get the rest of my script to work.Thanks again for the tips. Will also read up on "len" and "index". Cool stuff!
