I know nothing about the language really, and am quite curious about it. The reason I offered the suggestion of Perl isn't because it's my favorite language, but because the language itself was developed to solve the exact type of text-munging problem mod was encountering. Is Python also a "text-munging" type language aimed at sysadmin type problems? Was it too, specifically designed to pick up where awk and sed fell short? Thanks, -- Seeya, Paul -- It may look like I'm just sitting here doing nothing, but I'm really actively waiting for all my problems to go away. If you're not having fun, you're not doing it right! _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
