How to make list of Next line of "line.startswith("Apr" or May or "Jun")"

Question

The give input is text data:

file = open("ZZZ.txt").read().splitlines()

Sample result:

['Running from: ',
 'Apr 02, 2019 5:38:29 PM YYYYYYYYY',
 'WARNING: XXXXXXXXXXXXX',
 'Apr 02, 2019 5:38:29 PM YYYYYYYYY',
 'WARNING: XXXXXXXXXXXXX',
 'Apr 02, 2019 5:38:29 PM YYYYYYYYY',
 'INFO: XXXXXXXXXXXXX',
 'Apr 02, 2019 5:38:29 PM YYYYYYYYY',
 'INFO: XXXXXXXXXXXXX',
 'Apr 02, 2019 5:38:33 PM YYYYYYYYY',
 'WARNING: XXXXXXXXXXXXX',
 'Apr 02, 2019 5:38:33 PM YYYYYYYYY',
 'INFO: XXXXXXXXXXXXX]

I need to Extract the input data (YYYYYYYYY) and also have the info or warning (XXXXXXXXXXXXX).

I have tried to extract the input data by using ("Apr" or May or "Jun") and line.startswith("INFO" or "WARNING")

but I got different length key and values list,

key = []
value = []
for line in jenkins:
    if line.startswith("Apr" or May or "Jun"):
        line = line.rstrip()
        key.append(line)
else:
    if line.startswith("INFO" or "WARNING"):
        line = line.rstrip()
        value.append(line)

use regex; or `line.startswith("INFO") or line.startswith("WARNING")` — Smart Manoj, Jun 07 '19 at 15:05

I guess it would be too easy to just get the dates from the odd lines & the data from the even lines (counting from 0). — Scott Hunter, Jun 07 '19 at 15:07

the or keyword does not work inside startswith function its valid syntax if you remove the or keyword its still valid syntax.

for idx, line in enumerate(lines):
    if line.startswith('INFO') or line.startswith('WARNING'):
        keys.append(line.strip())
        values.append(lines[idx-1].strip())

Got this: TypeError Traceback (most recent call last) in 12 values.append(jenkins[idx-1].strip()) 13 else: ---> 14 print('date missing in line %s' %idx+1) TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "int") to str – Muralitharan Sathyamoorthy Jun 07 '19 at 15:41
