extract

I have a file that I want to extract dates from, it's a HTML source file so it's full of code and phrases I don't need.

How do you extract an HD and Bios Unique ID, using python script? Go Get Microsoft's Scriptomatic Run it, Select the appropriate class from the dropdown (WIN32_BIOS) It will produce the necessary Python/WMI code for you. (It will also generate VBScript, Perl, and JScript) Solutions that come to my mind: use Win32 Python Extensions and call Windows APIs to do that directly Use a WMI-wrapper for Python (some WMI interface code for reference) Edit : I assumed your OS was MS Windows :) On Linux, look in the /proc directory. You'll have to parse the files to find what you are looking for. This

If they are absent in the PDF files as well (not embedded), we can only use similar system font

I'm using iText to extract embedded images and save them as separate files. The .jpg and .png files come out ok, but I cannot extract tiff images that have the CCITTFaxDecode encoding. Does anyone have a way of saving the tiff files? I found some sample C# code that uses iTextSharp at Extracting image from PDF with /CCITTFaxDecode filter It indicates a separate tiff library is needed to write out the results. According to that article, the "CCITTFaxDecode" compression is Compression.CCITTFAX4 for the tiff library. To use that article's method, I need: 1. get a tiff library. The Java Image I/O

I know that this must be incredibly easy - It's unbelievable how long I have searched for an answer to this question based on how simple it is in VB6. I simply want to extract an Icon from an EXE File using Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon, and then save this icon file to my hard drive.

having an array like this for example: [1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1] What's the fastest way in Python to get the non-zero elements organized in a list where each element contains the indexes of blocks of continuous non-zero values? Here the result would be a list containing many arrays: ([0, 1, 2, 3], [9, 10, 11], [14, 15], [20, 21]) >>> L = [1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1] >>> import itertools >>> import operator >>> [[i for i,value in it] for key,it in itertools.groupby(enumerate(L), key=operator.itemgetter(1)) if key !=
