Thanks Martin works perfect. So I understand correctly, line.split('"')
splits the list on " so [1] grabs after USE = " and up till [2] starts.
Just one more comment, string.join is deprecated, yet join is a method
of str objects. So ...
Lines = '\n'.join(L)
... or use textwrap.fill which returns a string with the newlines
already in place ...
Lines = textwrap.fill(USE, 80)
HTH,
Marty
Again thanks, I like the comments :)
