How to extract information from log file in python?

Question

I have log file I want to write into csv with particular set of columns but I don't know how to write it can anyone help me..

Answer 1

first open that log file in read mode the iterate each row then split the informations which you want to store in csv file and store that in csv format

Answer 2

import csv
logFile = open("logfile.log" ,"r")
with open('csvfile.csv' ,'w') as f:
#columns in which you want to store csv data
fieldnames = ['col1' ,'col2' ,'col3' ,'col4']
writer.csv.DictWriter(f, fieldnames =fieldnames)
writer.writeheader()
for row in logFile:
r = row.split(' ')
writer.writerow({'col1' : r[0] ,'col2': r[1] ,'col3' :r[2] ,'col4' : r[3]})
#here you can also concatinate several data which is stored in r
logFile.close()
