List indices must be integers, not str

[Derbylad]

Right I'm having a spot of trouble with integer and string values when reading from a '.txt' file.

The aim is for the programme to read in from a file containing code similar to this...
A;Ed;Young;e.yo ung@msn.com;223 376;1;0;1;0



When running I receive this error code...

I would insert the full code but its 226 lines long. If anyone can see the answer from the run script it would be much appreciated.

String formatting character %d requires an integer value. Items parsed from a file are strings until type cast to another object type. Type casting the last 5 elements of the matching tuple to int should solve your problem. Example:

>>> "%-2s %-16s %-16d" % ("Item 1", "Item 2", int("1234567890"))
'Item 1 Item 2           1234567890      '
>>>
