Don't forget your quotation marks around the filename. > f.find(songsearch) You _find_ stuff in strings, not in the file itself. Read each line of the file one at a time, because each line will be a string. for thisline in f: if thisline.find(songsearch) > 0: print thisline #Also at the end of the program don't forget to close what you opened f.close() Alan _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
