The fundamentals...

[Mike Read]

Newbie first script alert!  No problem - it does what I intended (which
probably says more about Python than me...), but I just wanted to start
off on the right foot - is it as elegant as it could be?  If it's not blindingly
obvious, I was separating fields around a period delimiter.

Cheers,

Mike

boo = string.split(boo , ". ")
boo = string.join(boo , "\n")

outfile = open('\\Windows\\Desktop\\out.txt', 'w')
outfile.write(boo)
outfile.close()
