Hmm.. maybe it'd help if I explained that I'm playing with edna http://edna.sourceforge.net/
I'll play with this simple code: f = open(r'pathToFile) for line in f: # do something with the line of text such as print it. f.close() and this one from Skip: f = open(plainfiles.href, "r") print f.read() and see if I can make a go of it.. I think it's the template portion that is mixing me up.. the template is what's used to create the look of the html on the edna server. Thanks to all who replied so quickly, much appreciated! .\\ax "Marc 'BlackJack' Rintsch" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > In <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, kyosohma wrote: > >> I'm not familiar with ezt formats, however reading a text file is a >> breeze. > > This sentence doesn't match the code that follow.
