If you expect to get a series of decimal integers, and you find a "Q" in the middle, is it dangerously easy for your program blow up? How do you resync after that? Do these questions even make sense? Not in my opinion; you got invalid data, so you throw an exception and stop reading data. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
