This is trivial task, whatever language you choose, will do it. Python too, and its also simple and popular, so i can recommend it. > 2) What development tools to use You don't need nothing beyond python interpreter. > 3) Tips on how to code the solution Read the python tutorial (www.python.org) and thats probably all you need to know. > For each record I have to create an html file that will be named as the > name of the town (i.e. Sarajevo.html).

Its maybe 10-20 lines of trivial code, so i suggest you to read python tutorial, unless its only do-it-once operation. Do you really need to create 30k files? this will take a lot of time (creating a file is time-consuming operation on creation, sending them to server too) and disk space greedy - even if file has 300 bytes, it may take 4kb or more on disk, depending on filesystem and its settings. Perhaps collecting names starting with the same letter in single file will be enough. -- Maciej "Fiedzia" Dziardziel (fiedzia (at) fiedzia (dot) prv (dot) pl) www.fiedzia.prv.pl Ankh if you love Isis. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
