a relevant code snip: if os.path.exists('ConfigureMe'): f1=open('ConfigureMe','r') tablebgcolor=string.strip(f1.readline()) papercolor=string.strip(f1.readline()) inkcolor=string.strip(f1.readline()) linkcolor=string.strip(f1.readline()) f1.close()
Eacj line in the file contains color configuration information to include into a webpage later on (for instance, 'peach, 'wjhite', 'black', 'Blue'). tablebgcolor contains the entire text file being read, not one line. this program opereates in a windows 2000 environment if this helps any. when examined in a text editor, the file is properly laid out. pLease help, the fingernails are getting very close to the quick. -- Salute! -Kirk Bailey Think +-----+ | BOX | +-----+ knihT Fnord. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
