So, I have using the following to grab numbers from MS Word. I discovered that that there is a "special" rule being used for rounding.
If a ??.5 is even the number is to rounded down (20.5 = 20) if a ??.5 is odd the number is to rounded up (21.5 = 22) Brands = ["B1","B2"] A1 = [] A1 = [ re.search(r"(?m)(?s)\r%s.*?SECOND.*?(?:(\d{1,3}\.\d)\s+){2}" % i, target_table).group(1) for i in Brands ] A1 = [int(float(str(x))+0.5) for x in A1 ] print A1 Any solutions for this line with the above conditions? Just as a note, any other number ??.3,??.7 follows the normal pattern of rounding (21.3 = 21, 20.3 = 20, 21.7 = 22, 20.7 = 21) A1 = [int(float(str(x))+0.5) for x in A1 ] Lance -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
