Since this is a text mailing list it's better to insert the files into the email. Many servers will strip out attachments so they can't be seen. I've pasted them below. Before: 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2 10.0.0.3 10.0.0.4 10.0.0.5 After: 10.0.0.1 localhost 10.0.0.2 remote host 10.0.0.3 No resolution availabe for 10.0.0.3 10.0.0.4 localhost 10.0.0.5 No resolution availabe for 10.0.0.5 So, basically you just want to append the name (or an error message)? In pseudocode this would be open in_file open out_file for line in in_file: try: name = gethostaddr(line.strip()) out_file.write(line + '\t' + name) except herror: out_file.write(line + '\t' + errrMsg) close in_file close out_file delete in_file # or rename to .bak rename out_file to in_file Can you translate that to Python? -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
