The replace works: py> for item in L: ... print item.replace('\x00','') ... 381475.502599 213622.174282 If you got that from a file, I bet you read it using the wrong encoding. Try opening the file using codecs.open("filename", "rb", encoding="utf-16-be") instead of plain open. When your read it, you'll get unicode objects instead of strings, but with the right contents. If you wish you can convert to strings using line_read.encode(your_system_encoding); if all your data is numeric the encoding used is irrelevant and can be omited. -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
