Question

I need to parse a log in the following format:

===== Item 5483/14800  =====
This is the item title
Info: some note
===== Item 5483/14800 (Update 1/3) =====
This is the item title
Info: some other note
===== Item 5483/14800 (Update 2/3) =====
This is the item title
Info: some more notes
===== Item 5483/14800 (Update 3/3) =====
This is the item title
Info: some other note
Test finished. Result Foo. Time 12 secunds.
Stats: CPU 0.5 MEM 5.3
===== Item 5484/14800  =====
This is this items title
Info: some note
Test finished. Result Bar. Time 4 secunds.
Stats: CPU 0.9 MEM 4.7
===== Item 5485/14800  =====
This is the title of this item
Info: some note
Test finished. Result FooBar. Time 7 secunds.
Stats: CPU 2.5 MEM 2.8

I only need to extract each item’s title (next line after ===== Item 5484/14800 =====) and the result.
So i need to keep only the line with the item title and the result for that title and discard everything else.
The issue is that sometimes a item has notes (maxim 3) and sometimes the result is displayed without additional notes so this makes it tricky.
Any help would be appreciated. I’m doing the parser in python but don’t need the actual code but some pointing in how could i achive this?

LE: The result I’m looking for is to discard everything else and get something like:

('This is the item title','Foo')
then
('This is this items title','Bar')

1) Loop through every line in the log

    a)If line matches appropriate Regex:

      Display/Store Next Line as the item title.
      Look for the next line containing "Result 
      XXXX." and parse out that result for 
      including in the result set.

EDIT: added a bit more now that I see the result you’re looking for.
