No probs, I'll be a little less vague and pointer-y and give you some example code. :) lst = ['foo', 'bar', 'quux', 'asdf', 'qwer', 'zxcv'] for idx, val in enumerate(lst): if val[1]=='w': lst[idx]='Replaced' print(lst) ['foo', 'bar', 'quux', 'asdf', 'Replaced', 'zxcv'] Does that explain it a bit better? You get the index and can then mutate the list using that index, thus replacing the original entry. ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
