Hi John, The actual code is till now is: def name_debugger(n): open_file=open("/python27/name1.txt") for line in open_file: line_word=line.split() #print line_word word1=line_word[0] print word1 And Python seems faster than C++/Java. It is indeed. I also experience it. Regards, Subhabrata Banerjee. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
