or maybe even this: Apologies for the self-reply, its late here ! (a couple of typos fixed too! ) def scrambleFile(fname,action=1): try: f = open(fname, "r") fname = '.'.join(fname.split('.')[:2]) if action: ff = open(fname + '.scrambled', "w") ff.write('\r\n'.join([scrambleLine(l) for l in f ])) else : ff = open(fname + '.descrambled', "w") ff.write('\r\n'.join([descrambleLine(l) for l in f ])) f.close() ff.close() except Exception, details: print 'ERROR :: (%s)' % details :) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
