Hi,I am new to Python and trying to create a script that will remove content
wrapped in brackets.For example I want to remove from each line the
following:[!L] [20][!20+:2]etc....
But when I run my script I only get the last line of the content. It is correct
as far as the output I want, but I don't understand why the other lines
disappear.
Here is my data:
[!L]KEXITSETUP=Exit Setup[20]KEXITPSSETUP=Exit PS Setup[20]KEXITCOLSETUP=Exit
Color SetupKSERVERSETUP=Server Setup[!L]KPRINTERSETUP=Printer
Setup[!L]KNETWORKSETUP=Network Setup[!L]KJOBLOGSETUP=Job Log
Setup[!L]KLANGUAGESETUP=Language Setup[!L]KCHANGEPASSWRD=Change
Password[!L]KCLRSRVR=Clear Server[!L]KFACTORYDFLT=Factory
DefaultsSETUPB1=Setup[20+:2]KPSERROR=Print to PS
Error[20+:2]PSERROR=Print to PS Error[20+:2]EFPSError=Print to
PS Error
----------------------------------------------------------------Here is the
script I have so far (remember I am new):
import re
with open("lcd_eng.dct") as f: with open("out.txt", "w") as f1: for
line in f: if f == 0 or not line.lstrip().startswith('#'):
f1.write(line)
# Converts the = sign to a , comma for generation of the .csv filef =
open("out.txt",'r')filedata = f.read()f.close()newdata =
filedata.replace("=",",")f = open("out2.txt",'w')f.write(newdata)f.close()
# Should strip out anything [...] f1 = open("out2.txt",'r')newdata =
f1.read()f1.close()newdata = re.sub(r'\[[^>]*\]', '', newdata)f1 =
open("end.txt",'w')f1.write(newdata)f1.close()
The output I get is only the last line of the input file. Not sure why. I know
the issue is in the search and replace, but I am not sure where.
Thanks for any and all help.Very much appreciated.Sam
