I'd start with a few simple tests like with open("test.log") as instream: for line in instream: if line.startswith("["): parts = line.replace("[", "]").split("]") duration = parts[8].strip("& \n") if "hours" in duration and "minutes" in duration: duration = duration[duration.index("hours"):] time = parts[1] thread = parts[7] print "%s\t%s\t%s" % (time, thread, duration) and see if you get false positives/negatives.
