Extracting Values from a String

Question

I am trying to extract values from a string, I have tried to get re.match working but have not had any luck. The string is:

'/opt/ad/bin$ ./ptzflip\r\nValue = 1800\r\nMin = 0\r\nMax = 3600\r\nStep = 1\r\n'

I have tried:

 map(int,re.search("Value\s*=\s*").group(1))

and also:

'/opt/ad/bin$ ./ptzflip\r\nValue = 1800\r\nMin = 0\r\nMax = 3600\r\nStep = 1\r\n'.split(' = ')

I am not sure what else to add or do. I want to retrieve the attributes 'Value, Max, Step' and their values. Is there anyway to do this?

Thanks for any help

For that particular string, the following parses it into a dictionary:

s = '/opt/ad/bin$ ./ptzflip\r\nValue = 1800\r\nMin = 0\r\nMax = 3600\r\nStep = 1\r\n'
d = {}
for pair in [val.split('=') for val in s.split('\r\n')[1:-1]]:
    d[pair[0]] = int(pair[1])
