I have the following data : 

Node : WATER-7609-WR1 

IP Address : 172.20.150.81

Severity : 5 - Critical

ServerSerial : 50505223

SNSupportGroup : UC-WAN

Node Location : CO 160 WATER 8 FL RCV

Event Details : Unknown Not Link Down or Up trap on Serial Channel:  Unknown Severity: 4
NOTE:Configuration Item is not found in CMDB. Please update Incident with related Configuration Item

I am interested in all text after "Event Details :", I have used the the following function : 

def eventdetails(text): 
   match =re.search(r'Event Details :[^.]*',text) 
   return match

print(eventdetails(dfnetcool_inc["Description"][3])) 

output: <_sre.SRE_Match object; span=(159, 292), match='Event Details : Unknown Not Link Down or Up trap >

--> Am not getting all of the text after Event Details. Perhaps there is an EOL charecter - how do I get remainder of the text, request your help, TIA!

  • $\begingroup$ solved : I used - match =re.findall(r'Event Details :[^*]+',flags= re.M, string= text) $\endgroup$ – Vivek Rmk Apr 1 '19 at 21:07

nice that you solved it. This would also work:

import re

def eventdetails(text): 
   match =re.search(r'Event Details :(.*)',text, flags=re.S) 
   return match

result = eventdetails(text)
print(result.group(0))
