Exercise: print lines with Report

In many cases you get some text report in some free form of text (and not in a CSV file or an Excel file.) You need to extract the information from such a file after recognizing the patterns. This exercise tries to provide such a case.

• Create a script called text_report.py

Given a file that looks like this:

This is a text report there are some lines that start with
Report: 23
Other linese has this somewhere in the middle.

Begin report

Report: -3

Like this. Report: 17
More lines starting with
Report: 44

End report

We will have some exercise with this file. Maybe 4 exercises.
Report: 123

• Print out the first line that starts with Report:.

• Print out all the lines that have the string Report: in it.

• Print out all the lines that start with the string Report:.

• Print out the numbers that are after Report:. (e.g. Report: 42 print out 42)

• Add the numbers that after after the string Report:. So in the above example the result is expected to be 204.

• Do the same, but only take account lines between the Begin report and End report section. (sum expected to be 58)
