I'm looking for an equivalent to sscanf() in Python. I want to parse /proc/net/* files, in C I could do something like this: int matches = sscanf( buffer, "%*d: %64[0-9A-Fa-f]:%X %64[0-9A-Fa-f]:%X %*X %*X:%*X %*X:%*X %*X %*d %*d %ld %*512s\n", local_addr, &local_port, rem_addr, &rem_port, &inode); I thought at first to use str.split , however it doesn't split on the given characters, but the sep string as a whole: >>> lines = open("/proc/net/dev").readlines() >>> for l in lines[2:]: >>> cols = l.split(string.whitespace + ":") >>> print len(cols) 1 Which should be returning 17, as explained above. Is there a Python equivalent to sscanf (not RE), or a string splitting function in the standard library that splits on any of a range of characters that I'm not aware of?
