Its better in the future to cut and paste the traceback rather than paraphrase... That being said, it can't find the in_file. Maybe you aren't in the directory above desktop? Try specifying a complete path, instead of relative. Once you solve that, be sure the ouput path is specificed completely and that it exists. > > > > def firstdev(file): > in_file = open("desktop/%s.txt") % file > indata = in_file.read() > out_file = open("desktop/newfolder/%s.txt", 'w') % file > out_file.write(indata) > out_file.close() > in_file.close() > > firstdev("test") > -- > https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list -- Joel Goldstick http://joelgoldstick.com -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
