Having trouble with a string... - malonn - Oct-16-2018
I have written the contents of a dictionary to a text file. Each key stores a list. I'm having trouble reading the list, however. I only want what was the second item on the list. Here's some code and the contents of the text file that the script reads from:
def write_dumps(self):
dmp = self.scan_dumps()
i = 0
with open('practice_gui_2.ini', 'w') as f:
while i < len(dmp):
s = str(dmp[i])
f.write(f'{s}\n')
i += 1
def get_size(self):
'''Reads fro Ini created by "scan_dumps()" and gets total size
of all .DMP files to display in the GUI.'''
with open('practice_gui_2.ini', 'r') as f:
s = f.readline()
l = s.find(',')
...['C:\\Games\\Steam\\dumps\\assert_steam.exe_20181011101734_1.dmp', 451628]
['C:\\Users\\Mark\\AppData\\Local\\CrashDumps\\StaxRip.exe.1008.dmp', 23099764]
['C:\\Users\\Mark\\AppData\\Local\\CrashDumps\\StaxRip.exe.2520.dmp', 22764743]

['C:\\Windows\\System32\\config\\systemprofile\\AppData\\Local\\CrashDumps\\lsass.exe.796.dmp', 844132]I can't figure out how to find the comma and then read only the numbers after the comma. I don't want the brackets or the spaces.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I think I have it figured. Here's what works for me if anyone is interested and if anyone can see room for improvement:
with open('practice_gui_2.ini', 'r') as f:
tsize = 0
for line in f:
print(line)
lc = line.find(',')
stn = ''
for d in line[lc + 2::]:
if d.isdigit():
stn += d
tsize += int(stn)
print(tsize)

You can use join to make the code simpler:
stn = ''.join([char.isdigit() for char in line[lc + 2:]])

with open('practice_gui_2.ini', 'r') as f:
tsize = 0
for line in f:
data = line.split(",")
print data[1]

print data[1]Thanks, but that approach keep leading whitespace and trailing bracket.

Just add:
dd = data[1] print dd[1:-2]at the end to remove them
RE: Having trouble with a string... - ichabod801 - Oct-16-2018
Well, sorry. That was bad.
stn = ''.join([char for char in line[lc + 2:] if char.isdigit()])
