I don't know. What's "i"? I'm guessing "i" is a string (and what a horrible choice of a name for a string!) So i.split() will return a list. List indexing with multiple arguments isn't defined, which is why you can't write k, y = (i.split())[3,1] BTW, the outermost set of brackets is unnecessary. You can write: i.split()[3] instead of (i.split())[3] -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
