Thank you! That works perfect, I'll have to look into string formatting more.
My next issue to solve I've been researching is: How to condense a group of numbers to a wildcard list. For example: 252205 252206 252208 252220 252221 252222 252223 919745 919725 919785 704770 thru 704799 (all numbers listed individually in a file) Condense to: 25220[568] 25222[0-3] (or 25222[0123] is fine too) 9197[248]5 7047[0-9][0-9] Any recommendations on where to start, a method or function to research? Thanks!

Try line.rstrip() instead. It'll remove all newlines. Also, I suggest you use string formatting, for example, >>>destpatt = "destination-pattern %s...." % line.rstrip() -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
