Side note: You happened to get lucky with P, w, and c, but for the future, I recommend using forward slashes for your paths: open("D:/Programming/Python/working_with_files/cities.txt", "r+") Otherwise, you may run into annoying and hard-to-solve problems. Or alternatively, you'll upgrade to a newer Python and start getting warnings, which would at least tell you that there's a problem. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
