"Struggling with parsing out values from a log file—any tips?"

Hey y'all,

So I’ve got this messy log file, and I’m *trying* to parsing out some specific values (timestamps, error codes, you know the drill). But man, it’s a hot mess in there—random spaces, inconsistent formats, the works.

What’s your go-to method for parsing out stuff like this? Regex? Splitting lines? Some magic library I don’t know about?

Also, anyone else feel like parsing out nested data is just… soul-crushing sometimes? 😅

Thanks in advance!
