So you want a list of any number that occurs in the file, if it occurs at the start of the line, or is preceded by a space character? And you don't want any duplicates in the list? Is the order of the results important? That is, would a result of 16,20,2,0,7 be acceptable? Or how about 20,2,16,7,0? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
