I have a log file. In that log file thre contains text. Something along the lines of this. 115=WAS 115=GAD 115=TRE I need to search that log file (thought of using grep) and write each text after the "=" sign to another text file. So the other text file (call it "* List*") will contain a list of all the differernt values for 115. After I have created that, i then need to run a script that will run through the latest log file and compare the *List *from the log file and any new 115=... values that are not in the* List *text file must be added, vice versa. End result is that I want to track and see how many values I can get in the 115=... The log file is siuated on a different server/machine on my network, so I want the script to be able to copy the log file from the server to my machine. I hope that makes sense. Many thanks for your help. -----Original Message----- From: Wayne <sri...@gmail.com> To: asteri...@petlover.com Cc: tutor@python.org Sent: Tue, Oct 27, 2009 6:53 pm Subject: Re: [Tutor] New to Python On Tue, Oct 27, 2009 at 10:35 AM, <asteri...@petlover.com> wrote: > Hi there, > > How do you connect to a different server using python?
