If you want to do all by yourself you can create a list of starting positions, and you can add None to it, so you can use it to slice a line with a loop. You can also create a list of types, so you can cast the string parts to their correct types, catching the exceptions. You can do it in a second loop for clarity, or the first one to speed up a bit. So you can just create a list of data for each input line, a dict may be unnecessary because the number of fields seems fixed. Bye, bearophile -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
