from your example it doesn't seem there is enough information to know where in the html your strings will be. If you just read the whole file into a string you can do this: >>> s = "this is a string" >>> if 'this' in s: ... print 'yes' ... yes >>> Of course you will be testing for 'XXXX' or 'NOT PASSED' -- Joel Goldstick -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
