If you can manage the regexp thing with Perl, Python should be fairly easy. For one thing, there's a lot less typing - no need to end lines with a semicolon, many things are more intuitive. With a Python console (you get by just typing 'python' in bash), you can enter expressions and see what they do. Ctrl-D drops you out of Python. What you may be able to find on the web is an introductory course and examples someone at a university has created, which if it's any good, you could print out. Greg
