Hello, A "slice" takes a string and returns a "substring" of that string. For example, if we have a string like: ###### >>> mystring = "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" ###### then we can select different portions of the string by indicating the start and end positions. For example, the first ten characters of mystring can be extracted using a slice: ###### >>> mystring[0:10] 'supercalif' ###### Is this what you are confused about? Please give us more details on where you're getting stuck, and we will do what we can to help clarify. Please continue to reply to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]': do not email me directly. Although I may not personally have the time to answer, I'm sure at least one of the other helpers on the list do, so by continuing the conversation on python-help, we'll be able to guarantee that your questions are not lost. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
