Use split() to split the string into four strings, using spaces as separators, then use int() to convert the resulting strings that interest you. >>> a, b, c, d = 'Total size: 173233 (371857)'.split() >>> first_int, second_int = int(c), int(d[1:-1]) >>> first_int 173233 >>> second_int 371857 HTH Steve P -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
