After the inner loop finishes, do you want to go back to where the outer loop left off, or should the outer loop continue from the point where the inner loop stopped? In other words, do you want to locate overlapping sections, or not? Both are possible, but the solutions will look somewhat different. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
