Hey all you guys could be mistaken. It looks like the OP is trying to implement some sort of ghetto database. And he may NOT necessarily want the FIRST five lines of the file. He said (and i quote) "the values /between/ # and #". Where # and # are starting and ending of a range -- not necessarily the starting of the input file! However we really need the OP to clear up these questions! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
