have you tried your code ? Obviously, no, else you would have seen that it always return on the first iteration. <op> 2 solutions : passing the output stream to the function, or having the function returning a string. # solution 1 def prin_clas(gclas, out, nblines=1000): for count in xrange(nblines): out.write("Admin forceclass %d %s\n" % ( count , gclas )) a = raw_input("What is new file name:") out_file = open(a,"w") gclas = raw_input("What is the class:") prin_clas(gclas, out_file) out_file.close() # solution 2 def prin_clas(gclas, nb_lines=1000): result = [] for count in xrange(nblines): result.append("Admin forceclass %d %s" % ( count , gclas )) return "\n".join(result) a = raw_input("What is new file name:") out_file = open(a,"w") gclas = raw_input("What is the class:") out_file.write(prin_clas(gclas)) out_file.close() -- 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
