nonunique string replacements

[Shashwat Anand]

>>> s = 'PBUSH     201005       K      500      1.      1.      1.
1.      1.'    #Your original string here

>>> l    #Create your desired list
['500.2', '5.2', '5.3', '5.4', '5.5', '5.6', '5.7']

>>> lsep = s.count(' 1.')    #Count the occurrence of seperators

>>> for i in range(lsep):    #Replace all of them by values in list l, one
by one
...     f = s.find(' 1.')
...     s = s[:f] + l[i] + s[f+3:]
...
>>> s    #Your final string
'PBUSH     201005       K      500     500.2     5.2     5.3     5.4
5.5'
