I have a flat file database that I want to get information from. The
basic
text looks like this:
ITEM {
"FULLNAME" "apps114.chgit.com!file:/etc"
"RECOVERY" "0"
}
They are all on a separate line in the text file. I had thought about
trying to drop it into a list or a dictionary. Most likely a dictionary.
What would be the key and what would be the data?
With a regular structure delimited by braces you should be able
to process the file line by line fairly easily.
thought about using regular expressions to pull the data I need.
You probably don;t need regex, but it depends on what exactly
you want to filter/extract.
