string problem
#1
Hello everyone,
I'm a french programmer and I have a big problem.
I want to take only one side of this string but I don't now how to do.
x = "{"xxx.xx.xxx.x": [{'host': 'xxx.xx.xxx.x', 'protocol': 'tcp', 'portid': '1', 'state': 'filtered', 'reason': 'no-response'"
#I want keep this: 'protocol': 'tcp', 'portid': '1', 'state': 'filtered'
And the reponse can change.('protocol': 'Null', 'portid': '31', 'state': 'open') Wall Wall Wall
how could I do?
Thanks for your anwser.
Goodbyes

if your string would look better

x = {'host': 'xxx.xx.xxx.x', 'protocol': 'tcp', 'portid': '1', 'state': 'filtered', 'reason': 'no-response'}

print(f"host: {x['host']}\nprotocol: {x['protocol']}\nportid: {x['portid']}\nstate: {x['state']}")
Output:
host: xxx.xx.xxx.x protocol: tcp portid: 1 state: filtered

I don't know if this is useful at all. But here is what I came up with. I just thought I would add to this thread since Axel has already answered the original question by structuring the data types within the dictionary properly.

class User:
    def __init__(self, host, protocol, portid, state, reason):
        self.host = host
        self.protocol = protocol
        self.portid = portid
        self.state = state
        self.reason = reason
        
user1 = ('127.0.0.1', 'TCP/IP', 80, '[LISTENING]')

your x looks like poorly formatted json - i.e. you have opening [ and {, but not closing them. Also you use " around the key "xxx.xx.xxx.x" and your string is enclosed in "", i.e. sample x will raise error anyway.
post actual value of x (i.e. I am asking for properly formatted example, not "real" values).

then, if I am right - you can use json to parse it or maybe ast.literal_eval

Hello Axel
It's a good idea but in reality X is a string and not a dictionary and I can't seem to change it.
your idea fonction but with dictionary.
Excuse me I don't mention this

Thank you for your reponse buran but the key enclosed in "" is the spelling of Nmap fonction .
X is an part of a Nmap tram
the full tram is:
but I can suppr {"172.217.23.131": [
