The first hit is basically the solution presented above translated from Unix to Windows: your python script writes the appropriate shell commands into a file, then you get the command processor to process that file. The Windows version carries this a step further by wrapping it all up in a script to make it easy to run, but that's the only real difference. Maybe the results order has changed since you looked? Watch the recipe - I may add a Unix/sh solution. <mike -- Mike Meyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
