Can you cut and paste a few lines? Otherwise I assume your file looks like this: A 0.00001 B 0.00003 C 0.00006 You interpret the file like this: name= A, rating= 0.00001 name= B, rating= 0.00003 name= C, rating= 0.00006 --recompute-- new values: name= A, rating= 0.00001 name= B, rating= 0.00002 name= C, rating= 0.00004 new file: A 0.00001 B 0.00002 C 0.00004 Am I right so far? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
