Since both branches discard the data read, I presume Martin's fix is what you really want. | Is there a more compressed way to write such a statement, | especially I dislike the redundancy "Datafile.readline()". But for future reference, if you really do need to call a method in multiple places (or even just multiple times in a loop) you can condense like so: dread = Datafile.readline # followed by ... dread() # as needed Terry Jan Reedy -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
