Originally developed to allow programmatic access to -information returned from the command line interface (CLI) of networking -devices. - -The engine takes two inputs - a template file, and text input (such as command -responses from the CLI of a device) and returns a list of records that contains -the data parsed from the text. - -A template file is needed for each uniquely structured text input. Some examples -are provided with the code and users are encouraged to develop their own. - -By developing a pool of template files, scripts can call TextFSM to parse useful -information from a variety of sources. It is also possible to use different -templates on the same data in order to create different tables (or views). - -Note: This package was originally a fork of TextFSM because TextFSM had no -support for Python3 at that time (that's not the case anymore, btw). -Nevertheless this package is somewhat smaller compared to TextFSM and is used -in some projects. |
