OK This sounds like a homework so I can't give you a direct answer but only some things to consider. > I figure that is presented like this: > > filename = sys.argv[1] > data = open(filename).read() So far so good but how will you know whether there is anyting in sys.argv to read? > But, if none are provided, input should come from standard input. Standard input is where you normally get input in interactive programs. How do you normally get a user to giove you information? You'll find more about receiving input from users in the "Talking to the User" topic of my tutorial. -- Alan Gauld Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
