You can use the LineReceiver (or LineOnlyReceiver) from Twisted to do this quite easily: from twisted.internet import reactor from twisted.internet.protocol import ServerFactory from twisted.protocols.basic import LineOnlyReceiver class CellProtocol(LineOnlyReceiver): delimiter = '-ND-' def lineReceived(self, line): print 'got a line' f = ServerFactory() f.protocol = CellProtocol reactor.listenTCP(12345, f) reactor.run() Jean-Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
