Can you give us an example of the way the 'list of files' is stored in. import os print os.path.abspath(filename)
Will do *something*... so long as 'filename' contains a path relative to the current working directory. What you want is undoubtably in the os and os.path modules. Regards, Fuzzy http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
