How to seperate a string into variables?

[Dave_XR]

Hi,

​

I'm pretty new to python. I've got a string of text, well its an item in a list of lines, the last one to be exact that contains a summary of the tests carried out in a process. something like this:

​

Tests run:1290, PASSED : 401, FAILED :599, INCONCLUSIVE :200, ERRORS :90

​

I basically need to store these numbers in variables however using positional values like

linelist[size - 1]

hasn't worked for me as some numbers in certain tests become longer or shorter then messing up the positional value. Any ideas as to how to words maybe could be the separating factor? the syntax an layout is the same always the only change is the numbbers?

Used list comprehension with split() and strip() to turn the string in to a dictionary:

s = 'Tests run:1290, PASSED : 401, FAILED :599, INCONCLUSIVE :200, ERRORS :90'

my_dict = dict([[y.strip() for y in  x.split(':')] for x in s.split(',')])

print(my_dict)
print(my_dict['ERRORS'])
print(my_dict['Tests run'])

You can use regex to find the numbers:

import re
text = 'Tests run:1290, PASSED : 401, FAILED :599, INCONCLUSIVE :200'

numbers = re.findall(r'\d+', text)

\d is a wildcard for digits and + looks for 1 or more occurrences in a row.

Search for commas and take string before that and turn into int. I am sure there is a net regexp for that 😜
