Hi there, I have a string in which I want to calculate how often the character ';' occurs. If the character does not occur 42 times, the ";" should be added so the 42 are reached.
My solution is slow and wrong: for Position in range (0, len(Zeile)): if Zeile[Position]==';': AnzahlSemikolon = AnzahlSemikolon +1 if AnzahlSemikolon < 42: for Zaehler in range(AnzahlSemikolon, 42): Zeile = Zeile + ';' Dreckskram = Dreckskram +1 How can this be achieved easily?
