Here's the algorithm. If you know enough Python you will be able to code it. So put together a program, give it a try and come back with questions. read the file into a string variable (assuming the file is not humungus) find the location of "something" in the string assemble a new string consisting of: the original string up to the location (index) of "something" "what" the rest of the original string write the new string to the file Bob Gailer 303 442 2625 home 720 938 2625 cell _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
