Well, the point Matt was making is that traversing through a list and traversing through a string are the same. # Given this: s = 'abcde' l = ['a','b','c','d','e'] # These are identical: for ch in s: pass for ch in l: pass # And these are identical: print s[3] print l[3] Slicing is identical. Subsetting is identical. The only difference is that I can change an element of the list. -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
