string split

[Dave Harrison]

I think it would most likely be because you are not working the two as the one line

Make sure that you have it all on the one line then do the split function.  At the moment I think you are trying to split a list object.

ie.

str = ''
file = ('foofile').readlines()

for line in file:
	str = str + line

name = string.split(str, '\n')
