Convert Custom String to Dict

HELLO, I need to convert this kind of string to down dict

string = "OS: Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 (64bit versions only)Processor: Intel Core i5 2400s @ 2.5 GHz, AMD FX 6120 @ 3.5 GHz or betterMemory: 6 GB RAMGraphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 with 2 GB VRAM or AMD Radeon HD 7870, with 2 GB VRAM or better - See supported List"

DICT

requirements={
'Os':'Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 (64bit versions only)',
'Processor':' Intel Core i5 2400s @ 2.5 GHz, AMD FX 6120 @ 3.5 GHz or better',
'Memory':'6 GB RAM',
'Graphics':'VIDIA GeForce GTX 660 with 2 GB VRAM or AMD Radeon HD 7870, with 2 GB VRAM or better - See supported List',
}

and i tried this

string = string.split(':')

and stored each list with the dict like this

requirements['Os'] = string[0]
requirements['Processor'] = string[1]

but this is not the right way to do it! which brings me lot more errors. So, is there any custom functions or module for these things ?

Answer

I’d use a regex to just capture the text that you want, since the actual format of the input string won’t be changing. This should give you want:

import re

string = "OS: Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 (64bit versions only)Processor: Intel Core i5 2400s @ 2.5 GHz, AMD FX 6120 @ 3.5 GHz or betterMemory: 6 GB RAMGraphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 with 2 GB VRAM or AMD Radeon HD 7870, with 2 GB VRAM or better - See supported List"

matches = re.match(r'OS: (.+)Processor: (.+)Memory: (.+)Graphics: (.+)', string)

requirements = {
    'Os': matches.group(1),
    'Processor': matches.group(2),
    'Memory': matches.group(3),
    'Graphics': matches.group(4),
}

print(requirements)

The regex is a little inflexible though and I would advice just using this as a starting point.

See re.match
