I have a flat file database that I want to get information from. The basic
text looks like this:
ITEM {
"FULLNAME" "apps114.chgit.com!file:/etc"
"RECOVERY" "0"
}
They are all on a separate line in the text file. I had thought about
trying to drop it into a list or a dictionary. Most likely a dictionary.
What would be the best practice to get this into a dictionary? I had
thought about using regular expressions to pull the data I need. Just not
totally sure how to approach this for the most part. Not looking for
solutions just ideas on how to approach the problem.
