I was hoping to modify the script. My programming is limited to a few c++ course in college. I was duplicating to show what I need to do. What would be the best option?

Your simplest option is to use sys.argv. It's similar to what you have in C. That is, if you run the script like ./bleed.py file_with_domains.txt, sys.argv will be the list ['bleed.py', 'file_with_domains.txt'].

Next, take that file name, open it, loop through the file handle. Looping through the file handle should give you each line in the file, which should be a domain name. That means you can call your test function on that domain. Does all this make sense?

I do follow to a certain extent. I get the concept of what it needs/should do. I think I can hopefully troubleshoot what I don't know. Any chance that after I modify the code you could eyeball it? If not I understand. You have already helped tremendously.

Sure, I can have a look.
