if spss files are text (not binary) why not: f1 = open("f1")read() f2 = open("f2")read() outfile = open("outfile", "w") outfile.write(f1 + f2) outfile.close() You could put this in a function and pass all infiles as *filenames, then loop to read each file and output result -- Joel Goldstick _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
