you can use the split() method to split on whitespace: >>> s = "connect 123.123.123.123 21 user password" >>> s.split() ['connect', '123.123.123.123', '21', 'user', 'password'] btw, the cmd module might be useful for your project: http://effbot.org/librarybook/cmd.htm http://docs.python.org/lib/module-cmd.html </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
