Python regular expression to pick values in a string

[kaf3773]

Hi
I have the output below stored in a variable called outping. I am trying to pick the values in bold into two variables using python regular expressions. i will appreciate your help. Thanks

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 100, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 192.168.1.8, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (100/100), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/3/12 ms
switch1B#

Here is the code i am trying to use

patt = re.compile(r"(Success rate)", re.MULTILINE)     
m = re.search(patt, outping)
print m.group(1)

I would do it like this since it is understandable and can be easily debugged and/or broken down.

test_string="Success rate is 100 percent (100/100), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/3/12 ms"
if test_string.startswith("Success"):
    test_list=test_string.split()
    percent = ""
    for ctr, word in enumerate(test_list):
        if word == "percent":
            percent = test_list[ctr-1]  ## previous word
 
print percent, test_list[-2].split("/")[-1]
