Thanks to all who responded. I will try the suggestions and see if I can get the rest of my script to work.Thanks again for the tips. Will also read up on "len" and "index".
Cool stuff!

 Hello,I am hoping you experts can help out a newbie.I have written some python code to gather a bunch of sentences from many files. These sentences contain the content:


blah blah blah blah <uicontrol>1-up printing</uicontrol>blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah <uicontrol>Preset</uicontrol>blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah <uicontrol>Preset</uicontrol> blah blah blah


What I want to do is remove the words before the <uicontrol> and after the </uicontrol>. How do I do that in Python? 
Thanks for any and all help.Sam
