You didn't mention that it is a numpy function! It returns a numpy.ndarray object whose __str__() method automatically inserts newlines to make the output easier to read I guess. Don't use this, then. You can do for instance: fl = open('tmp.ext', 'w') fl.writelines(['[', ' '.join(range(1, 101)), ']']) fl.close() (untested) -- Arnaud -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
