As a few people already told you the built-in open() Few people? I thought Oscar was a singular person, not a group of people :-) Seriously, I am convinced by that approach (thanks) and I wish to go that way, but the problem I am getting now is that the open fails and then I can't go on. Also, I am now looking at the subprocess as os.popen seems deprecated. Any opinion on that? Thanks for your suggestion. Mik -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
