Aplogies all, I hit CTRL ENTER which send the message in Lookout...

Most of it was already written so I'm not going to redo it all,
just say sorry...

I'm new to programming, python, and even this list! So hopefullt someone
could give me a hand with my first program.

x = in_file.read()
y = """%s""" (x)
text = re.compile('url=(\w*)&', re.IGNORECASE) 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "F:\Python21\reusage.py", line 10, in ?
    y = """%s""" (x)
TypeError: object of type 'string' is not callable
