-- Do you know about str.startswith() http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#str.startswith Since your data is so well defined I think it would be simpler to just read each line, strip whitespace, use startswith() to check for "Searching for OPUSH on" and "Channel:" You can slice to pull out the mac address and the channel number like so: >>> s = "Searching for OPUSH on 00:1D:FD:06:99:99" >>> s[23:] '00:1D:FD:06:99:99' # this will work if no other text follows the mac address >>> s[23:41] '00:1D:FD:06:99:99' # this will work to just capture the mac address >>> For the Channel number, after stripping whitespace, take the slice from s[9:] Searching for OPUSH on 00:1D:FD:06:99:99 ... Channel: 9 Joel Goldstick -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
