Table Result Parser

The table result parser attempts to convert tables found in the output into either a dictionary of lists or dictionary of dictionaries (depending on whether or not there is a column that labels rows).

Config Item	Description	Required?	Notes
delimiter	Delimiter that splits the data	no, default=’ ’	regex form
col_num	Number of columns, including row label if there is one	yes
has_header	Set True if there is a column of row_names	no, default=False
col_names	Column names if you know what they are	no	useful if output doesn’t include column names

Example Tables

Table without row label column

The following table will be converted into a dictionary of lists

Col 1 | Col2 | Col3
--------------------
data1 |  3   | data2
data3 |  8   | data4
data5 |      | data6

The config should have the following set:

results:
    table:
        key: table
        delimiter: '\\|'
        col_num: 3

Result:

{ 'Col1': ['data1', 'data3', 'data5'],
 'Col2': ['3', '8', ' '],
 'Col3': ['data2', 'data4', 'data6']

Table with row label column

The following table will be converted into a dictionary of dictionaries.

      | Col1  | Col2 | Col3
==============================
row1  | data1 | 3    | data2
row2  | data3 | 8    | data4
row3  | data5 |      | 9

The config should have the following set:

results:
    table:
        key: table
            delimiter: '\\|'
            col_num: 4
            has_header: True

Result:

{
 'Col1': {'row1': 'data1', 'row2': 'data3', 'row3': 'data5'},
 'Col2': {'row1': '3', 'row2': '8', 'row3': ' '},
 'Col3': {'row1': 'data2', 'row2': 'data4', 'row3': '9'}
 }
