Good grief! You don't need to post your entire data set! We don't need or want to see hundreds of lines. Cut your data down to a SMALL representative sample. Explain how it is coming to you: it looks like you are reading the data in something similar to key:value format. Is that correct? If so, you don't need a regex. This is not Perl, we have more than one tool in our toolbox and don't have to force everything to be a regex. The way I would process it would be to write a small accumulator function to group the lines into records, then a filter function to extract the records you want, and finally a function to extract the specific values you want from the record. Far more understandable and maintainable, and less fragile, than a horribly complex regex. -- Steve -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
