Instead of using a sentinal value (i.e., found), one can use the 'else' clause of a 'for' loop... pos = (line.split()[4]).split("_")[1] for (tag, (start,end)) in tags: if tag in line: print " i_a/i_b/ROM/%s [%i:%i] LOC=%s" %\ (pos,tag,start,end) break else print "Error" -- Hope this helps, Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
