Not sure if this is what you want, but here's what I did: <IDLE session> >>> x = 'blah\nblah\n' >>> lst = [] >>> templine = '' >>> for char in x: if char == '\n': temp = templine lst.append(temp) templine = '' else: templine += char >>> lst ['blah', 'blah'] </IDLE session> Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
