Nope. But since you're running this on a very peculiar OS, I just can guess that this very peculiar OS consider all args to be one same string... Try this: if __name__ == "__main__": for num, arg in enumerate(sys.argv): print "arg %d is %s" % (num, arg) This should art least give you some hints... BTW, isn't the DOS syntax for command line args something like : > myprog /arg1 /arg2 ??? -- bruno desthuilliers python -c "print '@'.join(['.'.join([w[::-1] for w in p.split('.')]) for p in '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'.split('@')])" -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
