I collect information from some cisco devices using python and pexpect, and have had great success with RE to extract extra stuff. I'm afraid I hit the wall. Some switches flow together, I identified this in a script and used a separate procedure to analyze the data. If the switch is complex, you will see the following (extracted from sho ver output)
Top Assembly Part Number : 800-25858-06
Top Assembly Revision Number : A0
Version ID : V08
CLEI Code Number : COMDE10BRA
Hardware Board Revision Number : 0x01
Switch Ports Model SW Version SW Image

Switch Uptime : 11 weeks, 2 days, 16 hours, 27 minutes
Base ethernet MAC Address : 00:26:52:96:2A:80

When I come across this, I need to extract the switch number and model for each of them in table 4, (sw can be ignored, but there can be from 1 to 9 switches). These are a few lines that got me like I was fine with the rest. Any ideas please?
