On second thought though, the easiest (read: the quickest, and<br>
not necessarily the best) way to make this work (if print data4 works the<br>
way I think it does anyway) would be to just change "line" to<br>
"line.__str__()" in the line.replace line of code. So it will read<br>
"line.__str__().replace('[', ' ').replace(']', ' ').<br>

Why would you use line.__str__() instead of str(line) ? For that matter, instead of using replace, the OP could do<br>
<br>
str(line)[1:-1]<br>
<br>
to chop off the beginning and ending brackets.<br><font color="#888888">
