Find IP address in multiple text files and replace it with another string in Python with regex-CodePudding

I have multiple text files as below:

I want to read all of the text files and find the IP value in each file and replace it with the noresult string which is available in the text and save per file in python.

     Id                = 0005      
     Cause          = ERROR

     Event Time              = 2020-11-09 10:16:48      
     Severity      = WARNING      
     Severity Code = 5     
     result = noresult
     Id                = 0006      
     Cause          = FAILURE

     Severity Code = 4 result = noresult

CodePudding user response：

If the ip is always your last field you can simply do this:

txt = txt.replace("noresult", txt.split("ip[")[-1])

In details, if you want to read, modify and write:

txt = open("filename.txt", "r").read()
txt = txt.replace("noresult", txt.split("ip[")[-1])
open("filename.txt", "w").write(txt)

If you have more files, you can group their paths in a list file_list = ["file1.txt", "file2.txt", ... ] and then repeat the above procedures cycling on this list:

for filepath in file_list:
    txt = open(filepath, "r").read()
    txt = txt.replace("noresult", txt.split("ip[")[-1])
    open(filepath, "w").write(txt)
