If you read the text that I posted with the solution, it tells you what X and Y are. They are numbers that describe the positions of elements in your input data. This absolute refusal by you to read any explanations that are posted are exactly why you will never be a good programmer. To become a good programmer you need to read and understand the explanations. In the post with that code example, I wrote: It also assumes that there is a timestamp of the form hh:mm:ss that always appears at the same word position X in each line in the file, and that the hours record always at position Y in the timestamp. You have to replace X and Y in that line with numbers that represent the positions in the lists returned by the relevant split commands of the actual text elements that you want to extract. -- Denis McMahon, denismfmcma...@gmail.com -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
