found_fontname = False
font_search = '/FontName /ACaslonPro-Semibold'
type_search = '/FSType 8'
for line in file('foo.txt'):
if font_search in line:
if found_fontname:
print "Uh, oh!"
else:
found_fontname = True
if found_fontname and type_search in line:
print 'doing something with %s' % line
# reset to look for font_search
found_fontname = False
and look for it to report "Uh, oh!" where it has found another
"/FontName /ACaslonPro-Semibold".
You can reduce your font_search to just '/FontName' if that's all
you care about, or if you just want any '/FontName' inside an
'/ACaslonPro-SemiBold' block, you can tweak it to be something like
for line in file('foo.txt'):
if found_fontname and '/FontName' in line:
print "Uh, oh!"
if font_search in line:
found_fontname = True
