Matter of taste. Occasionally, I use line iterators that strip the '\n' from the end of each line, so empty lines have to be handled. Of course, in my example code, one could have moved the check for the empty line before the check for the comment. Daniel -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
