Hey all so I'm new to python(like 2 days ago new)
Welcome.
However it will help if:
1) You always post in plain text. As you see below HTML code gets zapped
in email.
I need to find the device address, usb port, and number of times the error
occurs
OK, Assume we don;t know anything about USB
Explain how that relates tom your sample data below.
Which columns do you want to extract/process?
Your data is not consistent in structure so using csv is
probably more trouble than its worth.
Look at using split() based on both spaces and colons.
import re import csv
import reimport csvf = open("file.txt", "r") #location of log file
searchlines = f.readlines() #create list from
filef.close()for element in searchlines: usbPres =
re.search('(USB)',element) #pattern to find usb lines devAddr =
re.search('(address)\s\d+',element) #parsing pattern for device address
port = re.search('(port)\s\d',element) #parsing pattern for port if
usbPres: This is where I get lost because I want to assign the correct
port to device address and then count number of time it failed before a new
device is inserted into that port. then write it to a CSV
But the code is too messed up to read easily so please repost
in plain text.
