I was wondering, recently, the most expedient way to take a string with [EMAIL PROTECTED]&*] and alpha-numeric characters [ie. "[EMAIL PROTECTED]@*$g@)$&^@&^$F"] and place all of the letters in a string or list. I thought there could be obvious ways:
A) Find all the letters, put them in a list, one by one. Something like (I'm not sure yet how I'd do it...): import string list = {} string = "@*&^$&[EMAIL PROTECTED](&@$*(&[EMAIL PROTECTED](*&*(&c^&%&^%" for x in string: if x <is in string.letters?> list = list + [x] B) Delete all the characters in the string that don't match string.letters: No idea...strip()? Thanks, Drew
