Can there be multiple amino acids on each line? Would this be a possible input: 1lghB AHG i 87.3 Q Q -23.45 If so, would this be the required output? -1 1:1 2:0 3:0 4:0 5:0 6:0 7:1 8:1 9:0 10:0 ... 19:0 20:0 There is no point trying to write more code until we understand the requirements properly. regards Steve -- Steve Holden +1 571 484 6266 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC http://www.holdenweb.com/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
