I guess you have something like this now: for line in text_file.readlines(): if line.find('FULLNAME')>=0: write_file.writelines(line) This can be better written as for line in text_file: # No need for readlines(), a file is iterable if 'FULLNAME' in line: write_file.write(line) # writelines() is for writing multiple lines at once Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
