Since we don't have the data, it is not your duty to provide us with  
the output from either:

str(rawdata)

or perhaps even better ..

dput(rawdata)

Your earlier effort at providing a fragment of the data fails because  
either your (or possibly my)  mail client adds <cr> to the end of  
lines as they are displayed.
