CSV is an acronym for "Comma-Separated Values". It does not imply anything about the contents of the fields. The OP's file *is* a CSV file. Yes, the contents do represent an unusual application of the CSV format -- however a bus full of parcels instead of people is still a bus. > Then, you could use the built-in CSV module of recent python versions. Python is a case-sensitive language. The name of the module is "csv". The OP could use the csv module with his data. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
