Help Deciphering Code

[Bryan Leber]

Good Morning,

I am learning python and I am having to make some changes on an existing
python script. What happens is that one scripts creates an xml document
that looks like this:

 

CommitOperation
file=IPM2.1/Identity/IdentityWebApp/Source/com/fisc/prioss/dataservice/
component/profile ProfileUtil.java message=PATCH_BRANCH: N/A
BUG_NUMBER: N/A FEATURE_AFFECTED: N/A OVERVIEW: Changes for not
including the product configuration account, idmconfig in searches. 
module=IPM2.1

 

The first attribute file as you can see shows the path where the file
is and then a space and the actual file name. This is put into a
variable named file. Then in the script, there is a method called that
passes in this variable. The first line in the method called is this:

 

  reg = re.compile(r'[\\]+[ ]+')

 

I'm not 100% sure what this is doing, but I believe it is trying to
parse the file variable so that you only get the file name. It is weird
because this had been working just fine until about 2 months ago then it
just started not parsing anything. If anyone can help please help:-)

 

Thanks,

 

Bryan Leber

I have no idea what changed, but splitting the file var into its two 
components is trivial:

 IPM2.1/Identity/IdentityWebApp/Source/com/fisc/prioss/dataservice/component/profile
  
 ProfileUtil.java.split()

['IPM2.1/Identity/IdentityWebApp/Source/com/fisc/prioss/dataservice/component/profile',
 
'ProfileUtil.java']

If the ' ' were a '/' instead, then the os.path module has a function for 
splitting off the last component, the file name.
