Haiku Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I play an online car sim, GTR, and after a race it creates a log file that I want to parse and write to a database. I've not any experience with parsing logs - I'm not asking how to write the actual script but I need suggestions on how to approach this problem. Here is a portion of the log://[[gMa1.000f©2004 SBDT]] [[]][Header]Game=GTRVersion=1.400TimeString=2006/03/16 21:52:24Aids=0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0[Race]RaceMode=5Scene=GAMEDATA\LOCATIONS\Barcelona\Barcelona.TRKAIDB=GAMEDATA\LOCATIONS\Barcelona\Barcelona.AIWRace Length=0.200Track Length=4718.9307[Slot007]Driver=C_BexVehicle=Saleen Teams - S7-RTeam=Konrad MotorsportPenalty=0QualTime=1:50.335Laps=6Lap=(0, -1.000, 3:03.475)Lap=(1, 223.820, 2:08.530)Lap=(2, 352.349, 2:00.438)Lap=(3, 472.787, 1:50.591)Lap=(4, 583.378, 2:08.462)Lap=(5, 711.840, 2:23.195)LapDistanceTravelled=1667.881348BestLap=1:50.591RaceTime=DNFReason=0[Slot000]Driver=BHVehicle=Ferrari Teams - 360 ModenaTeam=MenxPenalty=0QualTime=1:48.111Laps=19Lap=(0, -1.000, 3:01.972)Lap=(1, 222.317, 1:55.995)Lap=(2, 338.312, 1:50.358)Lap=(3, 448.671, 1:53.831)Lap=(4, 562.502, 1:50.526)Lap=(5, 673.028, 1:51.130)Lap=(6, 784.158, 1:49.784)Lap=(7, 893.941, 1:53.135)Lap=(8, 1007.077, 1:51.039)Lap=(9, 1118.116, 1:50.883)Lap=(10, 1228.999, 1:50.778)Lap=(11, 1339.777, 1:50.370)Lap=(12, 1450.147, 1:51.789)Lap=(13, 1561.937, 2:06.571)Lap=(14, 1688.507, 2:09.218)Lap=(15, 1817.725, 2:09.650)Lap=(16, 1947.375, 3:25.906)Lap=(17, 2153.281, 2:15.009)Lap=(18, 2288.290, 2:04.894)LapDistanceTravelled=4599.286621BestLap=1:49.784RaceTime=0:39:32.839[Slot001]Driver=whitham69Vehicle=Chrysler Teams - Viper GTS-RTeam=Zwaan's RacingPenalty=0QualTime=1:41.356Laps=12Lap=(0, -1.000, 3:00.675)Lap=(1, 221.020, 1:49.506)Lap=(2, 330.526, 1:43.544)Lap=(3, 434.070, 1:42.503)Lap=(4, 536.573, 1:42.339)Lap=(5, 638.912, 1:43.145)Lap=(6, 742.056, 1:43.078)Lap=(7, 845.134, 1:43.336)Lap=(8, 948.470, 1:42.415)Lap=(9, 1050.885, 1:42.994)Lap=(10, 1153.879, 1:42.991)Lap=(11, 1256.870, 1:42.179)LapDistanceTravelled=3412.975586BestLap=1:42.179RaceTime=DNFReason=4[Slot002]Driver=TPG`HaikuVehicle=Porsche Teams - 911 GT3-RSTeam=Freisinger MotorsportPenalty=0QualTime=1:51.295Laps=19Lap=(0, -1.000, 3:04.045)Lap=(1, 224.390, 1:58.526)Lap=(2, 342.915, 1:51.348)Lap=(3, 454.263, 1:51.826)Lap=(4, 566.089, 1:52.024)Lap=(5, 678.113, 1:54.562)Lap=(6, 792.675, 2:05.667)Lap=(7, 918.342, 1:52.338)Lap=(8, 1030.681, 1:54.997)Lap=(9, 1145.678, 1:55.559)Lap=(10, 1261.237, 1:54.174)Lap=(11, 1375.411, 1:58.668)Lap=(12, 1494.079, 1:54.652)Lap=(13, 1608.731, 2:05.343)Lap=(14, 1734.074, 1:54.827)Lap=(15, 1848.902, 1:55.140)Lap=(16, 1964.042, 2:11.171)Lap=(17, 2095.212, 1:53.895)Lap=(18, 2209.107, 1:54.338)LapDistanceTravelled=4631.258301BestLap=1:51.348RaceTime=0:38:03.101[END]I want to write information on each driver (name, car, total laps, best time, race time) each to a row in the database.

Barand Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 You could try parse_ini_file() but I'm not sure if will like the duplicate "lap" keys.
