Thanks for the advice John! I was going though the Manual, but I'm having some trouble figuring out how to iterate through each line. So from the same example, we've already created a list called "lists". Now how do I iterate through each line? For eachline in lists Find all .111 files. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
