How do i read particular text from text file and update those values in MS SQL table
#28
I writing python program which read specific text from text file.

The program is working fine if it is static line index.

if it is dynamic search in the whole document, i am unable to read..

particularly, i want to get "Join Date","Relieve Date",etc. along with 3 main parameter(EmpNo,Name,Salary).

How to change the below code..?

import glob


def parse_line(line):
    for item in ['Emp No', 'Name', 'SAL', 'Join Date']:
        line = line.replace(item, '')
    return [item.strip() for item in line.split(':') if item.strip()]
 
def process_file(file_name):
    with open(file_name) as f: 
        line = f.readlines()[6]
    print(line)
    return parse_line(line)

pattern = 'C:/Test/Python/Project/*.txt'   
files = glob.glob(pattern)
all_data = [process_file(file_name) for file_name in files]
sample text file attached in the below link.

final out put would be

EmpNo: 101 Name: RASUL L SAL: 30000 JoinDate :XXXXX

Sample file attached.
