thanks, i mistook the [code] for needing to type [python] :)
Also, another friend suggested using strip (i think this is similar to chomp, which i had used in perl) and that has totally solved it- I also had to keep the more complicated while=True loops, it just didn't work otherwise, ?????

Thanks for your help. The program works if I take a few lines of the gigantor input file, beginning, middle or end, so i plan to just chop up the file, and go from there.
I had originally had the program as you suggested, but it didn't work. And now realizing that it was probably the stupid input file from the get go.
Also, wasn't sure how to to the code tags, my bad.Leave a comment:
