Sorry. I want to do something like this: string = os.environment('QUERY_STRING') If this is the string in the URL: http://www.someurl.com/cgi-bin/somescript.cgi?anythingafterthequestionmark 'string' should now contain the value 'everythingafterthequestionmark' When I use the os.environment('QUERY_STRING'), it doesn't work. Is there something I should import to make this function work? Or what else is wrong? Fred -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
