Well I for one still dont get what you want!! Heres a python one-liner using regexps >>> r=r'(.*) +> +(.*):.*length (\d*)' >>> re.findall(r,data) [('192.168.1.6', '192.168.1.7', '30')] Note: I am NOT suggesting you use regexps. Just that they will do what you want if you are so inclined -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
