I've tried to add an additional blank line to the end of the block description field in the pattern like this but when I add it, the excel file ends up being empty so I assume its because this pattern isn't recognized. There's always a blank line so I'm likely just formatting this extra empty line wrong.
block_pattern = re.compile( r"^(.*)\n" r"^Status: (.*)\n" r"^Event Category: (.*)\n" r"^Event Sub-Category: (.*)\n" r"^Added Date: (.*)\n" r"^Update Frequency: (.*)\n" r"^Language: (.*)\n" r"^Description: (.*)\n\*s\n", flags=re.MULTILINE)
