[python]Convert TextFSM nested list data into dictionary
Introduction Reference: http://gratuitousarp.info/a-quick-example-of-using-textfsm-to-parse-data-from-cisco-show-commands/ The reference article alluded a method known as value_map, I immediately knew it is possible to change to dictionary easily when I saw the output of value_map. This is how the output of value_map looks like, and this explains how the variable maps to the regex, if you are using re module … Continue reading [python]Convert TextFSM nested list data into dictionary
