Thanks a ton for the help guys! I have officially written my first Python code to save me a day of typing and I can't thank you enough. Not only have you saved my fingers, you have helped to spark the proverbial fire under my butt with regards to learning Python. I've been removed from programming for so long that I forgot how neat it was to write something and watch it go.
Here is the final script for anyone who cares. Can it be optimized?
in_file = open('c:/WVASA/original.txt', 'r')
out_file = open('c:/WVASA/output.txt', 'w')
for line in in_file.readlines():
county = line[:11].rstrip()
email = line[12:42].rstrip()
name = line[43:72].rstrip()
street = line[73:98].rstrip()
city = line[99:117].rstrip()
zipcode = line[118:].rstrip()
out_file.write(' <tr>bgcolor="#006699">\n')
out_file.write(' <td>' + county + '</td>\n')
out_file.write(' <td>' + name + '</td>\n')
out_file.write(' <td>' + street + '</td>\n')
out_file.write(' <td>' + city + '</td>\n')
out_file.write(' <td>' + zipcode + '</td>\n')
out_file.write(' <td><a href="mailto:' + email + '">' + email + '</a></td>\n')
out_file.write(' </tr>\n')
in_file.close()
out_file.close()
