That's not what I said. I said, TRY to create a file with a null byte in the name, the implication being that you *can't do it*. Okay, I accept that I muddied the water by also mentioning file names with newlines in them, which can be created but cause havoc. But the distinction was clear in my head, and if I can't expect people to read my mind, then the terrorists will have won! -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
