Hi Wayne,
I will try as best to explain what I need to do.
I have a log file. In that log file thre contains text. Something along the
lines of this.
115=WAS
115=GAD
115=TRE
I need to search that log file (thought of using grep) and write each text
after the "=" sign to another text file. So the other text file (call it "*
List*") will contain a list of all the differernt values for 115.
After I have created that, i then need to run a script that will run through
the latest log file and compare the *List *from the log file and any new
115=... values that are not in the* List *text file must be added, vice
versa.
End result is that I want to track and see how many values I can get in the
115=...
The log file is siuated on a different server/machine on my network, so I
want the script to be able to copy the log file from the server to my
machine.
I hope that makes sense.
Many thanks for your help.

Hi there,
How do you connect to a different server using python? (I have not used
python before)
What kind of server? What do you ultimately want to do?
see: http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#beprecise
for more info about asking good questions. We can't help you if we don't
know what you want.

Did you look up the smart-questions url?
Since you're trying to connect from one Windows XP machine to another
Windows XP or Server 2003 machine on the same network, the simplest
answer is to use UNC names, which are machine-name, share-name, and
path, all rolled into one string with two leading backslashes.
In that case, you can do an open something like the following:
infile = open(r"\\myserver\share3\system\logs\mylog.txt", "r")
Notice the r" which indicates a raw string, so you wouldn't need to
double the backslashes.
