Hi, I'm clear on what I want ;) (something new to me), but I'm not clear on how to get there. I'd like to compare str1 and str2, if at least one of the letters in str1 is in str2. I'm thinking that if I can convert str1 and str2 to sets, then I can use the set intersection operation. It probably doesn't matter here if the sets contain characters or symbols? Tuba
