Thanks Frank.
Do you need to know the separator or is this handled correctly by os?
The docs on python.org seem a bit unclear here? Also they seem to suggest its
only sometimes useful whereas it would appear
it's a very useful tool.
I see also the file is returned as well so I dont need os.path.split[1] for
that.
Cheers
Howard
