I was reading that. I have read it before. I don't use python enough to even remember the simple stuff. Then when I try to use if for something simple I forget how. f = open('wout.txt', 'r+') for line in f: line=line.strip() f.write(line+" *") f.close() Still broke. How about just telling me where I missed? Please? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
