No fair! Terry said re or dict. You answered the re and deleted the dict I would add try dict and/or flat arrays [given that your charset is ASCII and array of 127 at worst even less if you chop off unprintables is as good as nothing] [Ive see hugh speedup in C# going from dictionaries to arrays] -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
