Thanks to all who helped with the saving changes to a file. One additional question, if I want to go through and say change five or six things would I use search and then  IF, ELSE ? and what would it look like. something like the code below? is this correct?

infile = open('c:/address.txt')
s = infile.read()
IF s.search(s, 'ROAD')
s=s.replace('ROAD', 'RD')
IF s.search(s,'STREET')
s =s.replace('STREET', 'ST')
out_file = open("c:/address.txt", "w")
out_file.write(s)
out_file.close()
