Hi Kevin,

Sorry for the repeated messages. I have no idea why I have such a
long time delay. My messages didn't appear until just now after a few
minutes (thought I was having some issues).


you are posting to newsgroups from the USENET. It is typical that your posts need some time, and more time is needed for the message to show up *for other people* - many people see your message only after an hour or similar.

Concerning your question,

> But if there was also 4 j's in addition to the 4 a's, it would go:
> ['a', 'j']

well, when you take them out, as Steven has shown, you can also store them in an additional list, like

        takeouts.append(removedchar)

If you are only interested in the number, you could count the items in the original list and subtract the number of items in you final list.
