Python regex findall not printing all

Question

I am attempting to parse the following string

content = "ACC=OFF,Latitude = 01 15 30.20S Longitude = 036 47 10.83E,Speed = 0.00Km/h,Odometer = 36.477Km,2014-05-05,05:54"

As follows:

print re.findall(r'([\w\.-]+)=([\w\.-]+)', content)

The output is:

[('ACC', 'OFF')]

But the expected output should be:

[('ACC', 'OFF'),('Latitude','01 15 30.20S'),('Longitude','036 47 10.83E'),('Speed','0.00Km/h'),('Odometer','36.477Km').......]

Any help would be much appreciated

Answer 1

Remember whitespace and /:

In [13]: re.findall(r'([\w\.-]+)\s*=\s*([\w\.\s/-]+)', content)
Out[13]: 
[('ACC', 'OFF'),
 ('Latitude', '01 15 30.20S Longitude '),
 ('Speed', '0.00Km/h'),
 ('Odometer', '36.477Km')]

As you can see, Longitude is not recognized because it is taken to be a part of the Latitude value.
