The code is a very good starting point for me! I already managed to change it and I see I need to make it a bit more robust. And the next challange I have is to extract n values from one line. I mean: 23 Apples 234 Lemons 4 Eggs for example. Again thanks. And thanks to all others for the suggestions. I have looked at all and learned a lot of python. I probably will end up with a mixture of several approaches. Preben -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
