Rolando, it works with .txt files.  
Richard, John, I will look into that.

Hi,

I tend to use the shutil module for this kind of work. See shutil.copy() and
shutil.copy2().

To manipulate file path/names I tend to use the os.path functions. See
os.path.join(), os.path.split (), os.path.splitext().

cheers,
John.
