I want to pass the file name to the subroutine and return a comment string if it is there maybe it should be simplier. I probily should have the option of grabbing the comment in other related routines. I am pretty ambitious with the main program. I did notice some code in tcl that would be usefull to the app If I compile it.. I am probily not ready for that though.. http://www.dexrow.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
