Sorry folks my mistake def is_dev should be: def is_Dev(stringy): stringx = stringy.split('-') if stringx[0] == '': if stringx[1] == r'win32': if stringx[2] == r'app': if stringx[4] == r'dev.tar.gz': return 1 But now the results of the filter is an empty list and i know it shouldn't be.

My list looks something like this: ['logs', 'rqp-8.2.104.0.dep', 'rqp-8.2.93.0.dep', 'rqp-win32-app-8.2.96.0-inst.tar.gz', 'rqp-win32-app-8.2.96.0-inst.tar.gz'] Calling filter like this: compFiles = filter(is_Dev, compFiles) compFiles is my list and is_dev is the following def is_Dev(stringy): print stringy stringx = stringy.split('-') if stringx[1] == r'win32': if stringx[2] == r'app': if stringx[4] == r'dev.tar.gz': return 1 For some reason I only get 'logs' printed when is_Dev is called. (ie. It's only going through is_dev once) Does anyone see something wrong that I'm not seeing?? Thanks, Emile Boudreau This message may contain privileged and/or confidential information.
