I'm not familiar with ezt formats, however reading a text file is a breeze. f = open(r'pathToFile') while True: line = f.readline() if not line: break # do something with the line of text such as print it. f.close() I suppose you could write it to .ezt? Maybe you need to format each line before inserting it. I hope this points you in the right direction anyway. Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
