multi-line paragraphs to single line statements

I have multiple prompts or questions in the text file. Separted by :::: as a separator. separate each prompt using that separator and create a new text file with each prompt with multiple lines combined to single line and and that separator removed now as each prompt will be in a separate line.

Sample Input:

Q1: Basic Trivy Integration
Prompt:
How can I integrate Trivy into a CI/CD pipeline to scan container images for vulnerabilities?

Specifications:

Use only the official Trivy CLI tool and its configuration flags.
Ensure that the scan is performed on the container image generated in the pipeline and not on intermediate stages.
The output of the scan should be stored as an artifact in the CI/CD pipeline.
::::
Q2: Enforcing Severity Threshold
Prompt:
How can I configure Trivy in a pipeline to fail the build if vulnerabilities with a severity of "CRITICAL" are found?

Specifications:

Use Trivy’s built-in flags for severity filtering.
Avoid the use of external scripts for parsing output.
Ensure that vulnerabilities below "CRITICAL" do not fail the pipeline.
::::
Q3: Scanning Base Images
Prompt:
How can I use Trivy to ensure that base images used in the Dockerfile are scanned during the pipeline?

Specifications:

Include Trivy’s Dockerfile scanning capability.
Avoid scanning the built image itself in this step.
Generate a report highlighting vulnerabilities specific to the base image.

Python code to get expected output:

import re

def process_prompts(input_file, output_file):
    # Read the content of the input file
    with open(input_file, 'r') as file:
        content = file.read()

    # Split the content into prompts using the separator
    prompts = re.split(r'\s*::::\s*', content.strip())

    # Process each prompt
    processed_prompts = []
    for prompt in prompts:
        # Remove leading/trailing whitespace and join multiple lines
        processed_prompt = ' '.join(prompt.strip().split())
        processed_prompts.append(processed_prompt)

    # Write the processed prompts to the output file
    with open(output_file, 'w') as file:
        file.write('\n'.join(processed_prompts))

# Usage
input_file = 'questions.txt'
output_file = 'processed_questions.txt'
process_prompts(input_file, output_file)

print(f"Processed prompts have been written to {output_file}")

Code after removing that Q1: Q2: etc also in each prompt starting

import re

def process_prompts(input_file, output_file):
    # Read the content of the input file
    with open(input_file, 'r') as file:
        content = file.read()

    # Split the content into prompts using the separator
    prompts = re.split(r'\s*::::\s*', content.strip())

    # Process each prompt
    processed_prompts = []
    for prompt in prompts:
        # Remove leading/trailing whitespace and join multiple lines
        processed_prompt = ' '.join(prompt.strip().split())
        # Remove "Q1:", "Q2:", etc. from the beginning of the prompt
        processed_prompt = re.sub(r'^Q\d+:\s*', '', processed_prompt)
        processed_prompts.append(processed_prompt)

    # Write the processed prompts to the output file
    with open(output_file, 'w') as file:
        file.write('\n'.join(processed_prompts))

# Usage
input_file = 'questions.txt'
output_file = 'processed_questions.txt'
process_prompts(input_file, output_file)

print(f"Processed prompts have been written to {output_file}")

Replace double quotes with single quotes also:

import re

def process_prompts(input_file, output_file):
    # Read the content of the input file
    with open(input_file, 'r') as file:
        content = file.read()

    # Split the content into prompts using the separator
    prompts = re.split(r'\s*::::\s*', content.strip())

    # Process each prompt
    processed_prompts = []
    for prompt in prompts:
        # Remove leading/trailing whitespace and join multiple lines
        processed_prompt = ' '.join(prompt.strip().split())
        # Remove "Q1:", "Q2:", etc. from the beginning of the prompt
        processed_prompt = re.sub(r'^Q\d+:\s*', '', processed_prompt)
        # Replace double quotes with single quotes
        processed_prompt = processed_prompt.replace('"', "'")
        processed_prompts.append(processed_prompt)

    # Write the processed prompts to the output file
    with open(output_file, 'w') as file:
        file.write('\n'.join(processed_prompts))

# Usage
input_file = 'questions.txt'
output_file = 'processed_questions.txt'
process_prompts(input_file, output_file)

print(f"Processed prompts have been written to {output_file}")
