Thanks Danny Yoo I got this, Lets say if its mystring[n:m] where n may be another number and m may be another number so how will it work in that case, so this becomes general and makes more clear Lets say if its mystring[3:8] so how will i evaluate it Thanks for all the help Regards Kaushal _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
