A simple python library for quickly parsing records in a fixed width format.
Project description
SimpleFixedWidth
A simple and very lightweight library for working with fixed width files.
Fixed_Width_Spec
class Field
Signature
Field(number: int, name: int, string: bool, size:int)
- number: int (Positional identifier for the field)
- name: str (Name of the field)
- string: bool (Indicates if the field is a string, if false it is numeric)
- size: int (Length of the field)
Example
Field(5, 'Name', True, 30)
class RecordType
Signature
RecordType(name="", fields=[])
- name: str (Name of the RecordType, if you have more than one)
- fields: list (List of fields for the specification tied to the RecordType)
- field_widths: tuple (Returns tuple of the widths from the fields)
- field_names: list (Returns list of the field names)
Fixed_Width_Record
function get_fields
Slices a string 's' in segments 'args' wide. Negative widths represent ignored padding fields.
Parameters
- s: string
- args: list of widths for the string, negative numbers are skipped
Returns string 's' in a list, minus the skipped fields
function get_line
Takes a string and extracts the record identifier if it exists.
Parameters
- string (String to be sliced into a list of fields)
- rec_type_start=-1 (If the string contains a record identifier, this will start to parse it out)
- rec_type_end=-1 (If the string contains a record identifier, this will end to parse it out)
Returns Tuple of the record identifier and the string it was in.
