Why don't you just try it out? $ python - -f "Long file" Python 2.4.1 (#2, Mar 30 2005, 21:51:10) [GCC 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-8ubuntu2)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import sys >>> print sys.argv[1] -f >>> print sys.argv[2] ... I think you can do the rest. Chris _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
