helloThank you Lie and Kent. I forgot about newline character and the fact that string can be sliced. Thanks for your timely help BTW I have gone through the Python library reference and find no examples in fileinput module.
z=fileinput.input(file,inplace=1) for line in z: ???if len(line)<60:pass ???if len(line)>60: ??????line=line[:60]+'\n'+line[60:] Is it the right way to do? Thank you Prasad
