Worked like a charm! Thanks a lot! So match method here not only searched for the string representation of the number but also convert it to integer as well? r stand for retrieve the string here? and group? Wehn a regex searched a .txt file when is retrieving something for it always retrieve it as string right? or can get it as a number as well? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
