read the file line by line. if it doesn't contain your string, write it to a new file. for each line, use string functions to find the string you want to remove. One way is to split on ',' or use csvreader to get a list of words between comma. Print the one you like and join the values on each side of the text you are looking for. Write that to a file Lather, rinse and repeat -- Joel Goldstick http://joelgoldstick.com/blog http://cc-baseballstats.info/stats/birthdays -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
