For example each time this line is interpreted I would like to use the new value of the state var which is a global var. How can I force state to be identified and used in this string. r_table = h5file.root.state_raw_records.neg_records r_table = eval("h5file.root.state_raw_records.neg_records") ?? r_table = h5file.root.eval("state")_raw_records.neg_records ?? eval is not a part of root dont think either of these is very logical? Any ideas? Possibly the parser mod? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
