Hi, Not sure if this is a python thing or a Operating system peculiarity, but here goes: Why does the line print "FirstLine" + "\rSecondLine" produce different output when run via IDLE and when run in the python prompt (both under Windows XP)?
Output in IDLE (ver 1.1.1, python 2.4.1): >>> print "FirstLine" + "\rSecondLine" FirstLine SecondLine >>> Output at the python prompt (python 2.4.1): C:\QVCS\Mobile Data\>python Python 2.4.1 (#65, Mar 30 2005, 09:13:57) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> print "FirstLine" + "\rSecondLine" SecondLine >>> Cheers Hans _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
