I find that the more ambitious my projects become, the less likely I am to complete them! With two toddlers, on a good day, I get 30 to 60 minutes of discretionary time, some of which I can do some coding! > You are using csv to do kind of a smart split() function.

I don't think I'm twisting it out of its intended useh: despite its name, it's really about splitting up uniform delimited input lines. The ability to use other delimeters and to trim the left-padding seems consistent with my use of it. The time it took between thinking of using CSV and getting it to actually work was probably a lot less time than I would have spend downloading and installing pyparsing, and figuring out how it worked. Thanks for the cuetools tip. I hadn't heard of it before. I spent some time looking for tools related to Audacity and CUE files, and couldn't find much (apart from one forum posting pointing out that Audacity didn't support CUE files, but it would be pretty easy to convert a CUE file to an Audacity label file). _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
