Thank you!

That works perfect, I'll have to look into string formatting more.=20

My next issue to solve I've been researching is:

How to condense a group of numbers to a wildcard list. For example:

252205
252206
252208
252220
252221
252222
252223
919745
919725
919785
704770 thru 704799 (all numbers listed individually in a file)

Condense to:
25220[568]
25222[0-3] (or 25222[0123] is fine too)
9197[248]5
7047[0-9][0-9]=20

Any recommendations on where to start, a method or function to research?

Thanks!

Edward Ellerbee

Try line.rstrip() instead. It'll remove all newlines. Also, I suggest =
you use string formatting, for example,
>>>destpatt =3D "destination-pattern %s...." % line.rstrip()
