How to parse a text file using python dictionary

Question

Key=value|key=value|
Pls note that line end with a '|'

Answer 1

this is in python 3
this expects file to be in
key=value| format
eg:
key1="value1"|key2=500|hello=("how","are","you")|
if you need data to be only strings like in
key1=value1|key2=hello|
delete
import ast
and replace
dict_var[key]=ast.literal_eval(value)
with
dict_var[key]=value
import ast
dict_var={}
try:
f = open("text/file/path")
content=f.read().split("|")
f.close()
content=content[:-1]
for item in content:
key,value=item.split("=")
dict_var[key]=ast.literal_eval(value)
# if you want
print(dict_var)
except Exception as e:
print(e)
