Looking for a method that does the opposite of 'split', i.e. elements
in a list are automatically concatenated with a user selectable

All hints welcome.

Strings have a join method for this:
'\t'.join(someList)
Gary Herron
or maybe:
-----------------------------------------
res = ""
for item in myList:
res = "%s\t%s" % ( res, item )
myList = ["abc","def","hjk"]
res = ""
for item in myList:
res = "%s\t%s" % ( res, item )
res
'\tabc\tdef\thjk'
print res
abc def hjk
Note the leading tab.
-----------------------------------------
So:
>>> res.strip()
'abc\tdef\thjk'
>>> print res.strip()
abc def hjk
simple enough. Strange you had to ask.
