[Tutor] checking substrings in strings
Hello, I would like to check if a certain word exists in a given string. since I learned to love lists, I used if myword in mystring: ...didnt work. I have now resorted to if mystring.find(myword) 1: is this really the canonical way to check if myword exists in mystring? it feels somewhat unpythonic, thats why I'm asking thanks for any insight you might have -frank ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
