Actually I'm trying to convert a string to a list of float numbers: str = '53,20,4,2' to L = [53.0, 20.0, 4.0, 2.0] As some of you suggested, using while it works: ------------------------------------- L = [] file = ['5,1378,1,9', '2,1,4,5'] str='' for item in file: j=0 while(j<len(item)): while(item[j] != ','): str+=item[j] j=j+1 if(j>= len(item)): break if(str != ''): L.append(float(str)) str = '' j=j+1 print L ------------------------------------- But I'm not sure this is an elegant pythonic way of coding :-) Thanks for all suggestions! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
