Thanks Guys! I've written several functions yesterday to import from different types of raw data including html and different text formats. In the end I never used the extract function or the parser module, but your advice put me on the right track. All these functions are now in a single object and the inner workings are abstracted (as much as python allows). So a single object can now import from any file without me having to worry about what file it is!
Might not sound like much, but the whole OOP thing is new to me too, so I am very happy with what python could do for me. Now just to get this stuff into MySQL...new topic :) Thanks for all your help! -d- -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
