Let's say I have a text:
"background-color: #ffffe5;\n color: #000000;\n }{\n background-color: #ed7215;\n color:
#000000; background-color: #662506;\n color: #f1f1f1;"
I would like to extract some dictionaries that contain:
string1 = {background-color: #ffffe5}
string2 = {background-color: #ed7215}
string3 = {background-color: #662506}
The text would normally be longer therefore having several more background colors, is there a way to get all of this. I know this should be done with re but I am not sure how to do this with this " ".join(string.split()) I know I could use this to remove the unncesary white spaces that would simplify the Issue but still I don´t have any ideas.Any help would be great. or a list with the colors in order would be cool but only the background colors.
Use re.findall:
import re
text = '''"background-color: #ffffe5;\n color: #000000;\n }{\n background-color: #ed7215;\n color: #000000; background-color: #662506;\n color: #f1f1f1;"'''
out1 = re.findall('background-color:\s*[^;]+', text)
# OR
out2 = re.findall('background-color:\s*([^;]+)', text)
Output:
>>> out1
['background-color: #ffffe5',
'background-color: #ed7215',
'background-color: #662506']
>>> out2
['#ffffe5', '#ed7215', '#662506']
