Reading from STDIN: python script.

1. Recently I started to study python . In this site I present many scripts. For simple tasks, I use bash and for more complex ones perl. Since my daughter starts to study python , so do I.


2. This script reads line by line from STDIN and checks if 192 is found in the beginning of the string. If so an asterisk is printed. If not a minus is printed.


3. I had some problems using the method rstrip . From search in the web, I found that split works better. The code is shown below:
   
   #!/usr/bin/python
   
   #handle regular expression
   import re
   
   import sys
   
   for line_i in sys.stdin:
     #same as perl chomp
     #line.rstrip()
     line_a = line_i.splitlines()
   
     line = line_a[0]
     ix = line.find('192')
     #!= -1 pattern found somewhere in line
     #== 0 pattern found in string start
     if(ix == 0):
       print "* ", line
     else:
       print "- ", line
