Thanks. I tried to use 'for' instead of 'while' as both of you
suggested. It's running well as my previous version but breaks

reason is that this part is inside another 'for' so it stops
everything. I just want to it to break

Hi -
I am writing now my second script ever in python and need some help with
'while'. I am reading text from a set of files and manipulating the data
