Python to parse text file and get the count of items
#1
I have a text file which contains some data.

I m particularly interested in finding the count of the number of items in v_dims

I m thinking of getting all the elements in v_dims and dumping them out in a Python list. Then compute the len(mylist) to get the count of the items.

The challenge is in getting all the elements of v_dims from my text file and putting them in an empty list.

I m particularly interested in items in v_dims in my text file. The text file has data in the form of v_dims pattern i showed in my original post. Some data has nested patterns of v_dims.

Here's what my text file looks like

Code:
version "1";
// Computer generated object language file
object 'MRKR' "Main" {
    Data_Type=2,
    HeaderBlock={
    Version_String="6.3 (25)"
},

    Top_Margin=0.50000000,

Here's what I have tried and failed. Any help is appreciated. TIA.

Code:

with open(fname, "r") as fo:
    content_as_string = fo.read()
    match = re.findall(r'v_dims={\"(.+?)\"}',content_as_string)
