Thanks.

This part:
It's showed up:
except IndexError:
Best guess I can make is that the line "each row has..." needs a # in
front of it. or maybe your code looks like the following, which has no
try block at all.
The except clause has to be the first line at the same indentation as
the try line it's protecting.

Sorry, I am still lack deep understanding about something basic. Thanks for
your patience.
Simplest answer here is you might have accidentally run this under
Python 3.x. That would explain the syntax error on the print
function. Pick a single version and stick to it. In fact, you might
even put a version test at the beginning of the code to give an
immediate error.
But you do have many other problems with the code. One is that this no
longer does anything useful with multiple tokens. (See my last email to
see an approach that handles multiple tokens). Another is that you mix
result and results. They're entirely distinct. So pick one spelling
and stick to it. Another is that for the "for index" is indented wrong,
and uses the wrong limit value. As it stands, it's trying to iterate
over an integer. You probably want to replace the whole phrase with
something like for item in results: print item
This example illustrates one reason why it's a mistake to write all the
code at top level. This code should probably be at least 4 functions,
with each one handling one abstraction.
Further, while you're developing, you should probably put the test data
into a literal (probably a multiline literal using triplequotes), so you
can experiment easily with changes to the data, and see how it results.
