Well the screamingly obvious way to do in Python what I think your imprecise question is asking is: >>> "foo_bar zot plugh _ xyzzy".replace("_", " ").split() ['foo', 'bar', 'zot', 'plugh', 'xyzzy'] >>> Talking about screaming, I fled screaming from perl at about the perl 3 stage -- I can't help you any further; I don't want to turn into a pillar of salt. Why don't you ask stupid perl questions on comp.lang.perl?? Cheers, John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
