On second thought, that wouldn't gain much on a loop over finding each sequence, but add more complexity than it is worth. What would be more useful, especially thinking of a C implementation, is str.findanyof and str.findnoneof. They take a string as an argument and find the first occurrence of any char in that string or any char not in that string, resp. Especially finding any char not among a given few needs a hoop to jump through now, if I didn't miss anything. -- Thomas -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
