Hi Bryan, Hve a look at the tutorial (on python.org) section on reading from files. You'll also need to read about string methods in the standard library (specifically, the split() method) and dictionaries (in the tutorial, again). If you get stuck, show us what you've tried and we'll try to help. -- John. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
