Did you try it? Presuming your file names look something like this: >>> date = 'xx051015.jpg' Taking a slice of a string gives another string: >>> date[2:4] '05' Which is exactly the same as turning the string into a list (of strings) and concatenating: >>> datel=list(date) >>> datel[2] + datel[3] '05' Kent PS Please reply on list so everyone can benefit _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
