That function could cause problems. If your function reads in the whole file, modifies the data, and then overwrites the file, what would happen if something unforeseen happened and your program crashed after writing one line to the file? All the data in memory would go poof! and your file would contain 1 line it--effectively erasing the entire contents of the file. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
