I think I would just keep the data in a list and index it: for line in file('21Ex6MV_tmr.dat'): data = line.split() d = data[0] if float(d) == round(calc_depth): print float(data[int(round(unblockedFS))]) Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
