This requires learning file I/O and some string manipulation techniques. I would probably read each line, split on spaces and then loop over each word and check for "wh" and add them to a new list. After reading the file, you'd then use a sort to get them in the right order. > > ◑ Create a file consisting of words and (made up) frequencies, where > each line consists of a word, the space character, and a positive > integer, e.g. fuzzy 53.

I recommend reading the Python Tutorial: http://python.org/doc/ If you're using Python 2.x, then check out http://www.diveintopython.org/ If you're using 3.0, your primary options are the online docs and "Programming in Python 3" by Summerfield. - Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
