my text file contains, paragraphs something like this.
summary
A result oriented and dedicated professional with three years’ experience in Software Development
To extract all summary
sections that contain the words you are interested in:
split_on = 'summary\n\n'
must_contain = ['Project', 'Team Size']
with open('9.txt') as f_input, open('d.txt', 'w') as f_output:
for part in f_input.read().split(split_on):
if all(text in part for text in must_contain):
f_output.write(split_on + part)
The second conditional statement here will never run, as it has an identical condition to the first one. Meaning copy will always be True
after the first instance of summary
.
if line.strip() == 'summary':
re.compile('\r\nproject*\r\n')
copy = True
elif line.strip() == "summary":
copy =False
What I'd recommend is having one statement that picks up the "summary" tags (I assume these are meant to be start/end of comment blocks) - and toggle copy
.
To toggle a boolean, you can simple set it to the inverse of itself:
a = True
a = not a
# a is now False
For example:
if line.strip() == 'summary':
copy = not copy
elif copy:
outfile.write(line)
