I often use sed for such small problems. c:\tmp>cat ex.txt a,b,c,d, a1,b1,c1,d1, a2,b2,c2,d2, c:\tmp>sed -e"s/,$//" ex.txt a,b,c,d a1,b1,c1,d1 a2,b2,c2,d2 c:\tmp> that doesn't involve python of course. I recommend one of the many tutorial introductions to python if the problem requires its use. -- Robin Becker -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
