Still the same question : what is an "xml heading" ? xml is a textual markup language. It has elements ('tags') which can have content and attributes - but nothing like "headings". file.readlines() iterates over lines of a opened text file - it doesn't give a damn about what this text is, xml, python code, csv or whatever. If your file contains xml and you want to interpret the xml, you have to use a xml parser. -- bruno desthuilliers python -c "print '@'.join(['.'.join([w[::-1] for w in p.split('.')]) for p in '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'.split('@')])" -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
