You've used 'list' instead. 'list' is a built-in constructor for lists. You cannot split it. I'm also not sure what """ if fh == list:continue """ is supposed to achieve. list.append doesn't do anything useful either -- it just looks up the append method and dumps in on the floor. sorted("fh") is also being dumped on the floor -- presuming it does anything to a single string in the first case. -- Wulfraed Dennis Lee Bieber AF6VN wlfraed@ix.netcom.com HTTP://wlfraed.home.netcom.com/
