I'm reading a file that has lines like bcsn; 1000000; 1223 bcsn; 1000001; 1456 bcsn; 1000003 bcsn; 1000010; 4567
The problem is the line with only the one semi-colon. Is there a fancy way to get Parts=Line.split(";") to make Parts always have three items in it, or do I just have to check the length of Parts and loop to add the required missing items (this one would just take Parts+=[""], but there are other types of lines in the file that have about 10 "fields" that also have this problem)?
