Yes, the arguments are available as a list in sys.argv . Remember that you need to import "sys" before you can access that, and that the values will be returned as strings, so if they should be treated as numbers it's up to you to convert them. Use of the getopt or optparse modules is recommended to work with command line arguments more effectively. -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
