如何修改Python代码提取文件中所有起止字符串间内容（不含结束串）

我明白你的需求了——你需要从日志文件里提取所有以Transfer started at开头、到Transfer completed successfully结束的内容（而且不包含结束行），还要按年份分段展示。原代码只输出最后一段，是因为每次遇到起始标记时都会重置buffer，之前提取的内容都被覆盖了。

下面是修改后的代码，完美解决这个问题：

start = "Transfer started at"
end = "Transfer completed successfully"
buffer = ""
log = False
transfers_by_year = {}  # 用字典按年份存储对应内容

for line in open('test.txt'):
    line = line.strip('\n')  # 去掉换行符，避免输出多余空行
    if line.startswith(start):
        buffer = line
        log = True
        # 从起始行提取年份（行最后一个元素）
        year = line.split()[-1]
    elif line.startswith(end):
        # 遇到结束标记时，不将结束行加入buffer，直接保存当前buffer
        if year in transfers_by_year:
            transfers_by_year[year] += '\n' + buffer
        else:
            transfers_by_year[year] = buffer
        buffer = ""
        log = False
    elif log:
        buffer += '\n' + line

# 按年份排序输出
for year in sorted(transfers_by_year.keys()):
    print(f"{year}: {transfers_by_year[year]}")

关键改动说明： #

• 新增transfers_by_year字典，用来按年份存储每一段提取到的内容，避免覆盖之前的结果
• 从起始行中提取年份（通过拆分字符串取最后一个元素），作为字典的键
• 遇到结束标记时，不再将结束行加入buffer，而是把当前整理好的buffer存入对应年份的条目
• 最后按年份排序输出，保证展示顺序符合预期

运行后预期输出： #
