Khoa, Yes, it sounds like delimitedList is the way to go. Note that the delimiter for delimitedList can also be an expression, it does not have to be a literal string, or terminal. Also, do not bother using delimitedList if your delimiter is just whitespace - pyparsing breaks up tokens on whitespace by default, that is: OneOrMore(Word(alphas)) will correctly parse "This is a sentence made up of alphabetic words", giving: ['This', 'is', 'a', 'sentence', 'made', 'up', 'of', 'alphabetic', 'words'] without having to represent the delimiting whitespace in the grammar. -- Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
