Here is a sample of the input data, it is tab delimited and I chopped it down for example purposes: KSL03502_7A_1 11.5921 KSL03502_7B_1 46.4997 KSL03502_7C_1 13.5839 KSL03505_7A_1 12.8684 KSL03505_7B_1 16.5311 KSL03505_7C_1 18.9926 KSL03509_7A_1 3.4104 KSL03509_7B_1 40.6244 KSL03509_7C_1 51.0597 KSL03511_7A_1 7.128 KSL03511_7B_1 53.4401 KSL03511_7C_1 66.2584 KSL03514_2A_1 25.6476 KSL03514_2B_1 53.17 KSL03514_2C_1 11.6469 KSL03514_7A_1 39.2292 KSL03514_7B_1 65.675 KSL03514_7C_1 3.4937 I would like to parse it buy using a dictionary structure. Where each row would be something like: name 7,8,9,2 KSL03514_C,3.4937,,,11.6469 KSL03514_B,65.675,,,53.17 I am just showing an example of what KSL03514_7C_1, KSL03514_2C_1, KSL03514_7B_1, KSL03514_2B_1 would parse. Hope this helps explain what I am trying to accomplish. Thank you in advance. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
