Here's an inelegant way:
**** CODE ****
results = {}
net_name_next = False
net_name = None
node_names = []
for line in sourcefile:
line = line.strip()
if line.startswith('NET_NAME'):
if net_name is not None:
results[net_name] = ", ".join(node_names)
net_name = None
node_names = []
net_name_next = True
elif net_name_next:
net_name = line.strip("'")
net_name_next = False
elif line.startswith('NODE_NAME'):
node_names.append("{1}.{2}".format(*line.split()))
# Last time through
if net_name is not None:
results[net_name] = ", ".join(node_names)
**** END CODE ****
If you're prepared to allow the dictionary values to be lists rather than
strings, we can squash that down:
**** CODE ****
results = {None: []}
net_name = None
for line in sourcefile:
line = line.strip()
if line.startswith('NET_NAME'):
net_name = sourcefile.next().strip(" \t\n'")
results[net_name] = []
elif line.startswith('NODE_NAME'):
results[net_name].append("{1}.{2}".format(*line.split()))
del results[None]
**** END CODE ****
If you can guarantee that you won't meet a NODE_NAME before you see a
NET_NAME then you can lose the messing about with results[None]. Having
spent today picking up the pieces from an assumption that's rotted after
several years, I'm not feeling that brave. A slightly less messy version
of that would be:
**** CODE ****
results = {}
entry = []
for line in sourcefile:
line = line.strip()
if line.startswith('NET_NAME'):
entry = []
results[sourcefile.next().strip(" \t\n'")] = entry
elif line.startswith('NODE_NAME'):
entry.append("{1}.{2}".format(*line.split()))
**** END CODE ****
I'm a little dubious about doing mutable magic like this without copious
comments, though.
