Here's a copy of the current version of the program and the terminal
output. Hope this helps!

Thank you!

*_PROGRAM:_*



#!/usr/bin/python2.4

input = open('/home/tom/Python/Input/SPY3.txt', 'r')

N=0

s = 'boo'

date =['hoo']

T = [0,0,0,0,0,0]               #don't know why this is necessary

open = close = hi = lo = vol = [1.0]  #is this necessary?

while s:

    s = input.readline()

    if s == '':break

    s = s[:-2]

    T[N] = s.split(',')

    date[N] = T[N][0]

    open[N] = T[N][1]

    hi[N] = T[N][2]

    lo[N] = T[N][3]

    close[N] = T[N][4]

    vol[N] = T[N][5]

    N+=1

print N

for i in range(N):

    T[i]

    print T[i]

    print date[i], open[i], hi[i], lo[i], close[i], vol[i]

print T[1][2], T[0][0]
