That's not what the OP asked about. [RFQ:] """So each line is intended to be: key1,value1,key2,value2,key3,value3... and each line is to be variable in length (although it will have to be an even number of records so that each key has a value).""" The rows are not all of the same format. The OP *does* know the structure, and he (?) *does* know what he's doing. It's just not the structure usually used in CSV files. The csv module, of course, still reads these rows just fine; they just need to be processed a bit to get the correct dictionaries. -- Robert Kern [EMAIL PROTECTED] "In the fields of hell where the grass grows high Are the graves of dreams allowed to die." -- Richard Harter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
