I have the code below and I am in need of a little help with variables.
What I am trying to do is substitute a variable where it says insert
variable. I actually need to place 3 variables. 1 for date, 1 for time
and 1 for a string of text.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

def BackwardsReader(file, BLKSIZE = 4096):
#"""Read a file line by line, backwards"""
buf = ""
file.seek(-1,2)
lastchar = file.read(1)
trailing_newline = (lastchar == "\n")
while 1:
newline_pos = buf.rfind("\n")
pos = file.tell()
if newline_pos != -1:
# Found a newline
line = buf[newline_pos+1:]
buf = buf[:newline_pos]
if pos or newline_pos or trailing_newline:
line += "\n"
yield line
elif pos:
# Need to fill buffer
toread = min(BLKSIZE, pos)
file.seek(-toread, 1)
buf = file.read(toread) + buf
file.seek(-toread, 1)
if pos == toread:
buf = "\n" + buf
else:
# Start-of-file
return
for line in BackwardsReader(open('stopServer.log')):
if line[0] == '[':
print line[1:8],line[9:16],line[62:93] ( insert Variable )
break
