Parsing a file by keywords

April 17, 2022

help with the parser of the file in python. There is a file with content:

The separators in the strings are the characters ============ and I need to parse these strings, and output only the data between characters where Total is greater than 20. I will be grateful for help!
From the code I tried this option, but I need the remaining values between the signs === provided that Total is greater than 20.

with open('total.txt') as file:
    data_file = file.readlines()
    # print(data_file)

    for i in data_file:
        replace_data = i.strip('| ')
        replace_space = replace_data.strip('\n')
        remove_whitespace = replace_space.strip('\n')
        if 'Total:' in remove_whitespace:
            print(remove_whitespace)

there all the values on a new line, an example in the photo.

>Solution :

Consume the file line by line. If a line starts with ‘=’ then you’re starting a new section in which case you need to check the list of lines you’ve previously built up and also check to see if a Total was found greater than 20.

Try this:

outlist = []
flag = False
def dump(list_, flag_):
    if list_ and flag_:
        print('\n'.join(list_))
    return [], False
with open('total.txt') as file:
    for line in map(str.strip, file):
        if line.startswith('='):
            outlist, flag = dump(outlist, flag)
        else:
            tokens = line.split()
            if len(tokens) == 3 and tokens[1] == 'Total:':
                try:
                    flag = float(tokens[2][:-1]) > 20.0
                except ValueError:
                    pass
            outlist.append(line)
dump(outlist, flag)
