Description

Session Goal

The session aimed to implement and execute Python scripts for analyzing and extracting specific information from policy files using regular expressions.

Key Activities

• Developed a script to read policy files and identify patterns using regex, focusing on terms like ‘required_groups’, ‘required_fields’, and function definitions.
• Utilized Python’s re module for regex operations and pathlib for file handling.
• Implemented scripts to print context around matches for better analysis and validation of policy content.
• Conducted searches for specific function definitions and prerequisite indexes within the policy text.

Achievements

• Successfully executed multiple scripts to extract and print relevant policy information, including required fields and function definitions.
• Enhanced the validation process of policy files by identifying missing required fields and prerequisites.

Pending Tasks

• Further automate the extraction process to handle larger datasets and integrate results into a comprehensive report for policy validation.
