Hi
There are many different ways to solve the problem that you are having.
The easiest if you are planning on only dealing with strings or a
predictable data structure would be to do something like this:
Code:
~~
#Pre: Pass in a str

def tokenizer(str, chr=' '): #heres a useful tool just like
StringTokenizer feature in Java
if chr != '': chr = chr[0]
else: chr = ' '
x = ""
tokens = [""]
z = 0
for x in str:
if x != chr:
tokens[z] = tokens[z] + x
else:
z

That's quite simple. Your file contain a string, not a list
You must use eval(your_list_as_string).

An alternative is reading the list into a string and using my
'listquote' module. It will tun strings into lists (and vice versa) -
including nested lists (lists of lists) and properly handling quoted
elements.

not work as I expect.

The issue is that in the file you don't have a list, you have text, and there is the difference in the behaviour.
