If it's really generated from a CSV file, you could also parse that instead: https://docs.python.org/3/library/csv.html Admittedly, CSV files are simple, but they also have major problems, especially when it comes to detecting their character encoding and their specific format (tab/comma/semicolon/space/whatever separated, with or without escaping, quoted values, ...). Meaning, you can easily end up reading nonsense from the file instead of the content that was originally put into it. So, if you want to parse from XML instead, use ElementTree: https://docs.python.org/3/library/xml.etree.elementtree.html Stefan -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
