yeah, I wasn't sure about that readline/lines thing, cos I'm not sure
how popen works.
Well, I'm not positive about it either! But that doesn't mean that you can't
comment out what you had, try this, and uncomment the previous if it doesn't
work. I would imagine that it works because it seems to

No! The argument to lstrip() is a list of characters, any of which will be stripped! It is *not* a
prefix to remove!
>>> insideipgrep='ifconfig if 00=_xxx Wow'
>>> insideipgrep.lstrip("ifconfig_fxp0=\"inet ")
'Wow'

I seem to always be the one to suggest this, but --
"String methods are better than using the string module because the string
module has been ?deprecated? or will be soon. I think that is the word here.
So, do this instead."
insideipgrepfd = os.popen("grep ifconfig_fxp0 /etc/rc.conf")

Well, if you're looking to extract the IP & mask you could use a
regEx. They're not to bad
If it's only that line that you're extracting, and it's format doesn't change
import re
pattern='ifconfig_fxp0="inet (?P*.?) netmask (?P*.?)"
reObj=re.compile(pattern, IGNORECASE)
jay = os.popen("
I can't really think of a more elegant solution than what you have,
maybe regex's but I hate those. You *can* reduce the number of lines
by
two, and there was a variable you never used.

The following block of code works, and provides the necessary output I'm
looking for...but I have a feeling that it's working through sheer brute
force and could be better:
insideipgrepfd = os.popen("grep ifconfig_fxp0 /etc/rc.conf")
insideipgrep = insideipgrepfd.readlines()
insideipfi
