Yes of course, you can use the ordinary Python file functions as described here: http://docs.python.org/tutorial/inputoutput.html#reading-and-writing-fil es For example: myfile = open(r'D:\projects\Myself\HelloPython\src\Drugreservoir.txt') filetext = myfile.read() myfile.close() will read the entire contents of the text file into the Python variable filetext. If you just want to get the word count of this text, you don't need to use a loop, by the way - you can get it from: wordcount = len(filetext.split()) Tom Hawkins Principal Scientist Innospec Inc Tel: +44 (0)151 356 6197 Fax: +44 (0)151 356 6112 _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
