Extract parts of a log-file and put it in a dataframe

[hasiro]

There must be lines with more than one ":" in it. Maybe a time?

You can tell split when to stop splitting. This tells split to stop after the first split.

a, b = map(str.strip, line.split(":", maxsplit=1))
items.append([b])

Thank you, it is working now with the following code:

with open(data, "r") as file:
    items = []
    for line in file:
        if ":" in line:
            a,b = map(str.strip, line.split(":", maxsplit=1))
            items.append(b)

new_result = items[0:4]
            
print(new_result)

Output:
['Hamilton-C1', '25455', '2020-09-16_21-12-40', '2.2.9']

After the list, I put it in a dataframe:

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame([new_result], columns=['Model', 'S/N', 'timestamp', 'SW'])

df

Output:
 Model    S/N            timestamp     SW
0  Hamilton-C1  25455  2020-09-16_21-12-40  2.2.9

Now, I have a folder with thousends of log files and will get this information and put it also in a dataframe.
How I can do this, as simple as possible?

Thanks for helping me again.
