Some people like to use regexes for everything. I prefer to try string methods
first as I find them easier to understand.
Here's my attempt:
>>> junk_list = 'tmsh list net interface 1.3 media-ca \rpabilities\r\nnet
>>> interface 1.3 {\r\n media-capabilities {\r\n none\r\n
>>> auto\r\n 40000SR4-FD\r\n 10T-HD\r\n 100TX-FD\r\n
>>> 100TX-HD\r\n 1000T-FD\r\n 40000LR4-FD\r\n 1000T-HD\r\n
>>> }\r\n}\r\n'
>>> junk_list = [s.strip() for s in junk_list.splitlines()] junk_list =
>>> [s for s in junk_list if s == 'auto' or s[:2] in ('10', '40')]
>>> junk_list
['auto', '40000SR4-FD', '10T-HD', '100TX-FD', '100TX-HD', '1000T-FD',
'40000LR4-FD', '1000T-HD']
Does that do what you want?

*****************************
Got it Oscar. Thank you for your respectful corrections and your solution.
I used "Rich Text" which is what I thought was recommended by the list gurus
at one point. Plain Text it is then.
Your response definitely does the trick and I can use that as a base for the
future.
As per Joel's comment that it is a variation of questions I asked in the past,
right you are. I had to put this away for a while and am picking it up again
now.
I will get string manipulation / RegEx educated.
Thank You,
Dave
