Thomas, > split() also splits at other whitespace.
Doh! Corrected version follows: print ''.join( open( 'Direct_Irr.txt' ).read().splitlines() ) Broken out: - open(): open file - read(): read its entire contents as one string - splitlines(): split the contents into a list of lines (splits lines at \n; does not include \n in split values) - ''.join(): join list of lines with an empty char Malcolm -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
