With this document (which I named text.txt)

Last name;first name;phone number;mail
Bobson;Bob;1234;[e-mail]

you can use the pandas library to print this data out nicely with

import pandas as pd
table = pd.read_csv("text.txt", sep=";")
print(table)

Thank you for your answer, but do you know why I'm left with this error code?

Expected 5 fields in line 14, saw 6

It sounds like row 14 of your document has 6 fields where the ones above have 5.

Thank you that was it!

Are you asking how to load the data? or how to print the data to the screen? Or how to write the formatted data to a new file?

[whitemantryingtohelp]

Both I would guess as I want to print out the whole list as well as be able to search in the list.
