okay, found <http://docs.python.org/lib/module-os.path.html> which you can use to get basename, dirname, split, join, normalize, &c. in my experience with other languages that support multiple platforms (e.g. tcl) when I needed to create a pathname I used stuff like that to avoid screwing up. I forgot how I did it but I seem to recall also even managing to specify some root name to know if I should use c:/ or just /. has been a while. -- sheila _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users
