Thanks again, I can't seem to keep track of my start values when I break up the value variable into svalues. Do you think I should do this, or should I have a running count from the beginning of the file and keep track until the end?
I am trying to find \n0\x82\x00 and \n0\x84\x00 within the block. I've added the if statement, and it seems to enter the parseSequence function the way I would expect, but it does not seem to populate the dictionary. Sorry for so many questions about this, but I feel like I am so close. while next < len(data): for element, next, value, length in parseDataElement(data, next): ## if element in ('\n0\x10\x00', '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', '\n0p\x00', ## '\n0\xb0\x00', '\n0\x80\x01'): if element == '\n0p\x00': start = 0 while start < length: element, start, svalue = parseSequence(value, start) if svalue.startswith('\xfe\xff\x00\xe0'): start_2 = 0 element, start_2, svalue = parseSequence(svalue, start) search[element].append(svalue) search[element].append(svalue) else: search[element].append(value) return search
