But that's not guaranteed. It depends on the operating system and file system driver if the names are sorted or not. In [14]: os.listdir? Type: builtin_function_or_method Base Class: <type 'builtin_function_or_method'> String Form: <built-in function listdir> Namespace: Interactive Docstring: listdir(path) -> list_of_strings Return a list containing the names of the entries in the directory. path: path of directory to list The list is in arbitrary order. It does not include the special entries '.' and '..' even if they are present in the directory. Ciao, Marc 'BlackJack' Rintsch -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
