You can use split twice print text.split( ":" ) and then split the returned list items on ";". You could also use text.find( ":" ), but that would be pretty much the same thing only harder. Also, you can step through the string one character at a time and compare each character. Finally, you can use an re, (regular expression), but if you are still learning how to parse strings, I don't think you want to get into re's. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
