2. Don't top-post. Put your responses AFTER whatever you're quoting.
It's a forum policy, for most usenet groups.

Thanks for your reply. I didn't say Python had a type called "tuple
strings", just that the lines in the file were tuples, and that the
elements of each tuple were strings. I suppose that is what I should
have said.
Still wrong on both counts. A tuple does not and cannot exist in such a
file. And the original tuple must have consisted of a string and a number.
If I knew how to avoid the parenthesis, I would have, and it is
helpful to know that there is nothing meaningful about the
parentheses, as you say. Ill try to find a way to write the data to
the file without the parentheses.
The parentheses is only part of the problem. You still haven't defined
what constraints you had on the data in those tuples. If you do, we can
suggest various ways to store the data so that it's easy, efficient,
and/or possible to retrieve it again.
Now since your message was out of order, I had to delete all the rest of
the history.
