hi steven,
 
ok i get what you meant. there are no pattern to split the entire contents in the robert.txt. 
is the content still needed to be splitted? 
L = line.split() will result in one long string.
could you pls explain what is c? how do i modify the c in the code? pls advise. tq
 
for line in f:
#for c in L:        
    L = line.split()    
    print L
    sheet.write(row,0)    
    row += 1
