My script already changed a little bit, I tried to fix it by my self,
but it seams, that I just moved the error. How would you check the
lines for the number of fields?
Actually, I think I found that problem. I forgot some "---|--|--" at
the end.
But I already got a new one.

[....]
if domainfield in domain:
    domainlines.append(line)
[....]

This should work if the domainfield and domain got the following
values, shouldn't it?

domainfield = 1234.ab.cdef.de
damain = 1234.ab.cdef.de

But I get this error message:

TypeError: 'in <string>' requires character as left operand
