Message: [QUOTE="Gary Herron, post: 3870722"] OK. Assuming you are open a file with something like: f = open('data', 'r') Then this will read lines up to the first "parameters" line for line in f: if line.startswith('parameters'): break At this point, line contains 'parameters1\n'. Do with it as you will. Then read and process lines until an end line is reached for line in f: if line.beginswith('end'): break # Here line contains ' key1 value1\n'. # Perhaps use line.strip to remove the white space on each end # and k,v =line.split() to split out the two values on the line. You'll need more: A loop to keep the above two going until the end of file A way to recognize the end of the file. Gary Herron [/QUOTE]
