I don't know any way to tell Idle to run in the background, generate this result, and hand it to me as a list, or a csv or whatever. Have I been missing something? The nice thing about grep is that it doesn't demand that you have an interactive experience with it in order to get your results out. Laura -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
