Sorry, i thought that a link to pastebin could be helpfully since it captures the syntax highlights and spacings. I don't have a fifty line code there. The 25 lines below, where to show you guys a picture of what is going on, to be more intuitive. This is what i have for now: highway_dict = {} aging_dict = {} queue_row = [] for content in file_content: if 'aging' in content: # aging 0 100 collumns = ''.join(map(str, content[:1])).replace('-','_').lower() total_values =''.join(map(str, content[1:2])) aging_values = ''.join(map(str, content[2:])) aging_dict['total'], aging_dict[collumns] = total, aging_values queue_row.append(aging_dict) if 'highway' in content: #highway | 4 | disable | 25 collumns = ''.join(map(str, content[:1])).replace('-','_').lower() lanes_values =''.join(map(str, content[1:2])) state_values = ''.join(map(str, content[2:3])).strip('') limit_values = ''.join(map(str, content[3:4])).strip('') highway_dict['lanes'], highway_dict['state'], highway_dict['limit(mph)'] = lanes, state, limit_values queue_row.append(highway_dict) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
