After you recognize and handle the header and separator lines, the remaining lines can be handled this way: >>> l = '1 1 10:55:14 2 65 8.5' >>> f = l.split() >>> print f ['1', '1', '10:55:14', '2', '65', '8.5'] >>> ','.join(f) '1,1,10:55:14,2,65,8.5' or >>> ', '.join(f) '1, 1, 10:55:14, 2, 65, 8.5' >>> Gary Herron -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
