;1', '1', '1', '1', '1', '1', '1'], 'names': ['RA7', 'RA6', 'RA5', '-', 'RA3', 'RA2', 'RA1', 'RA0']} If regular expressions aren't powerful enough, you could look into a full-fledged parsing library. There are two I know of: simpleparse and pyparsing. SimpleParse works well if you're familiar with writing grammars: you write a grammar in the usual style, and simpleparse makes a parser out of it. pyparsing is more OO. -- John. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
