Question

I’m new in python and need help.
I have a file and want to extract text to another file.

The input file looks like this:

<Datei Kennung="4bc78" Titel="Morgen 1" Bereich="I847YP"> Morgen 1

Here is text, contains numbers and text.
Here is text, contains numbers and text.
Here is text, contains numbers and text.
Here is text, contains numbers and text.
Here is text, contains numbers and text.

</Datei>
<Datei Kennung="469" Titel="Trop Hall W " Bereich="izr"> Trop Hall W

Here is text, contains numbers and text.
Here is text, contains numbers and text.    


</Datei>

For the first area in my file i need as output the file Morgen 1.txt
which contains this:

Morgen 1

Here is text, contains numbers and text.
Here is text, contains numbers and text.
Here is text, contains numbers and text.
Here is text, contains numbers and text.
Here is text, contains numbers and text.

I got from other user this code:

import re
REG_PARSE=re.compile(r'<Datei[^>]*Titel="\s*([^"]*?)\s*"[^>]*>\s*\1\s*(.*?</Datei>',re.dotall)
with open(filename) as infile:
for outfilename, text = REG_PARSE.finditer(infile.read()):
    with open('%s.txt'%outfilename,'w') as outf:
        outf.write(text)

but it does not work

Answer 1

Try this out… it works…

fp = open("data.txt", "r")
data = fp.read();

data = data.split(">");

i = 0;

while True:
    filename = data[i].split('" ')[1].split('"')[1]
    text = data[i+1].split('<')[0].strip()

    fp1 = open(filename + ".txt", "w")
    fp1.write(text)
    fp1.close()

    i += 2
    if i >= (len(data) - 1):
        break;
