Its fine to use pastebin for long programs.
But...
information to generate a dhcpd.conf file. I have written the code to do
it, but it suffers the same problem.
It's not totally clear what the problem is?
Currently when I run my code I get this as the output -

Any pointers as to how in the cases where 2 MACs are displayed I only
display/output the second? Also there is no guarantee that in the future
the second MAC will start with 00:10.
See the other thread about text processing. You need top use a flag, or
sentinel. In your case the flag tells you when you stop getting MAC
addresses, so in pseudo code
inMacs = False
for line in inputfile:
if not inMacs and isMac(line): # your function to identify a MAC
inMacs = True
if inMacs:
if isMac(line):
lastMac = line
else:
print lastMac
inMacs = False
From my code was it a fluke that I got the output formatted as it is
> and I actually need to rethink how I process the information?
Probably not, it'll be because that's how you processed it. But without
reading your code I can't tell what that was. Whether the formatting is
due to an explicit decision on your part or a result of some default
Python behaviour I don't know, but it almost certainly won't be a fluke.
(The exception is if its down to the order/structure of your input data)
Finally the information on pastebin, is it better or preferred that I
add it all in this thread, rather the putting it in pastebin?
Its best if you can either post the relevant snippet from your code
(with optional link to the full listing) or recreate the situation using
a small example program.
Having nothing in the mail puts too much onus on the reader to do all
the work. If they are busy, lazy, or both, they won't bother.
