I resisted my urge to use a regexp and came up with this: >>> from itertools import groupby >>> s = 'apple=blue+cart' >>> [''.join(g) for k,g in groupby(s, lambda x: x in '=+')] ['apple', '=', 'blue', '+', 'cart'] >>> For me, the regexp solution would have been clearer, but I need to stretch my itertools skills. - Paddy. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
