OK. You still haven't shown the code where tableTop gets defined, so your code is unrunnable. However, I think your problem is that wherever tableTop lives, it isn't part of your globals or locals in eval. See the documentation on evals here:
http://www.python.org/doc/1.4/lib/node26.html Something like the following might work: print eval(line, {'tableTop': tableTop}) Cheers, Cliff On Tue, 2009-04-07 at 08:38 -0400, Victor Subervi wrote: > > I have excluded the code where I call the separate text files for > printing normal text.
