After sending the last email, I was more and more unsatisfied with it's level of detail I provided.
Your original statement: b=b,r was doing nothing like you intended. The comma operator in this instance is making a tuple. The name b was being reassigned to the new tuple created by the comma operator. b+="," + r Was not doing exactly what I said. What it's doing is creating a new string from the one named by b, the string literal "," , and the one named by r. After creating the string it assigns the name b to the new string. --michael -- Michael Langford Phone: 404-386-0495 Consulting: http://www.TierOneDesign.com/ On 10/15/07, Michael Langford <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Use > b+=","+r > instead.
