If they're to be created within an hour, timestamp of creation probably isn't useful, but if you have internal data to use as the file name, that would work. Otherwise, try a simple sequential integer. All you'd need would be a loop that creates a bunch of files... most of your code will be figuring out what parts of the template need to change. Not too difficult. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
