Paul,Thank you for the informative reply. Yes, I created the indent problem when manually copying the original script when I posted. (I'm using an old laptop to study python and posting here using the desktop.) Your examples really helped. Last night I played with using a for loop instead of a while loop and got it working, but your examples really clarified things. This loop was particularly interesting because I didn't know the else could be attached to the for. Attaching it to the for solved a lot of problems. for letter in avoid: if letter in word: break else: print word I've printed out this whole thread and will be playing with your and others' solutions. I love this one for its conciseness, but will have to play with it to get my head around it. if not any(letter in word for letter in avoid): print word Thanks again. takayuki -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
