You don't show any code so it's hard to say what is going on. My guess is that your file contains spurious newlines and/or CRLF combinations. Try opening the file in universal newline mode and see what happens? with open("fortranfile.txt", "rU") as f: for line in f: print("LINE:", line) Irmen -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
