Dear all,
Thanks for all your help. I followed Alan's suggestion -- dealing with the
directory search path, by the method sys.path.append(). At first I thought
it would mess up the whole sys.path after running the script. But it
actually doesn't. Thanks again!
Regards,
PB

Alan,
Good point. Earlier I was trying to figure out how the script worked, and
having else: print "break" seemed to help with that. For example, in one
version that I was tinkering with, break was printed 17 times. In the
current version, break is printed twice.
hope that makes sense,

Kent,
Your multistrip tid-bit worked perfectly. Thanks!
The reason why I didn't want the import solution is that I am learning
python because I want to parse text data. This problem was perfect practice.

Yes, just pass multiple characters to strip(), e.g.
line = li
Thanks for your help Alan.
I found that when I used the code, it did returne a list but it is riddled

Hey,
I'm a newbie and this is my first script submission to this email list.
I was able to parse out the jobs list into a string: "jobs = [ . . ."

some list]"

jobs = [
'Lions',
'SysTest',
'trainDD',
'Cats',
'train',
'sharks',
'whale',
]
I want to write another script
