The OP said he wanted to delete the line with abc [sic]. He showed no interest in "blanking out ^abdc$. [sic]". The given snippet deletes the abcd but doesn't delete the newline. However the OP gave no clue as to what the actual problem was -- he may have had a trailing space or two after the abcd in the input line; this would not be matched by the pattern and so nothing would be deleted. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
