Hi
sum = 0
for item in readData:
try:
sum += int(item)
except ValueError:
print "Oops! That was no valid number. Instead it was:", item
So you mean to say this would ignore the bad data and continue processing ?
Yes. A new "try" happens every loop iteration since the "try" is
within the loop body.

Wow, thanks for your suggestions, Chris. Exceptions are really
useful..
when i try running the script now I get a whole bunch of errors like
this one --

why is it reading in all of the above? and how do I fix it and avoid
it in the future?
Your file appears to be saved in Rich Text Format (RTF) rather than
plain text (.TXT), hence Python is seeing all the formatting
gibberish.
Re-save it in the correct file format and try again.

the problem is - it is saved as a .txt and not in .rtf
I assure you, it is not.
You're saving it as Rich Text Format, but with a .txt extension. You
need to save it as plain text with a .txt extension.
