Hi, You can use .split() to turn a string like that into a list of the individual elements. (when called with no arguments, .split() splits on all whitespace) >>> s = """foo bar baz ... zif zaf zof ... yip yap""" >>> s 'foo bar baz\nzif zaf zof\nyip yap' >>> s.split() ['foo', 'bar', 'baz', 'zif', 'zaf', 'zof', 'yip', 'yap'] > I'm really not sure how to populate the list though- I > can work with lists just as text, but what do I need > to do to read a list into a listbox. To insert into a listbox, you use self.lstbx.insert(position, *entries) For example: for elem in s.split(): self.lstbx.insert(END, elem) You can also do this: self.lstbx.insert(END, *s.split()) (if x is a list and foo() a function, then foo(*x) is equivalent to foo(x[0], x[1], x[2], ..., x[len(x)-1])) -- John. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
