[python]Match most of the Cisco ASA access list patterns with regular expression

Regular expression reference

• Purchase the course by Sujith George The Complete Regular Expressions Course:Beginner to Advanced from Udemy
• Study this code from git hub, this code gives a good idea on how you should match access-list, from this course I realize the regex module can convert the matched data to dictionary.
• Read this documentation about re.compile and re.match, and also this documentation for groupdict().

Regular expression patterns to match all access-list
I took screen capture to avoide wordpress from removing less than and greater than symbols.
This pattern matches these:
access-list outside_access_in line 8 extended permit icmp host 10.0.1.1 host 192.168.20.254 (hitcnt=0) 0xd71be40c
