Dotan> Can Python go through a directory of files and replace each Dotan> instance of "newline-space" with nothing?
Sure. Something like (*completely* untested, so caveat emptor): import glob import os for f in glob.glob('*.vcf'): # corrupt data uncooked = open(f, 'rb').read() # fix it cooked = uncooked.replace('\n ', '') # backup original file for safety os.rename(f, '%s.orig' % f) # and save it open(f, 'wb').write(cooked) -- Skip Montanaro - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.webfast.com/~skip/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
