Issue in parsing the strings in python code

[srinivasan]

Because the problem is every time when ever I see the output  using the
"nmcli c show", the below output is the weird output, so instead of
connecting to SSID "NIFunkloch" it randomly connects to "NIFunkloch 1552"
or sometimes to NIFunkloch 1000" or so on

root:~/qa/robot_tests# nmcli c show
NAME                UUID                                  TYPE      DEVICE
