And not just input either. All strings have this method. (just for those who are not aware) >>> a = "JaCoB" >>> a.lower() "jacob" >>> a.upper() "JACOB" >>> dir(a) ['__add__', '__class__', '__contains__', '__delattr__', '__doc__', '__eq__', '__ ge__', '__getattribute__', '__getitem__', '__getnewargs__', '__getslice__', '__g t__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__le__', '__len__', '__lt__', '__mod__', '__mul__ ', '__ne__', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__rmod__', ' __rmul__', '__setattr__', '__str__', 'capitalize', 'center', 'count', 'decode', 'encode', 'endswith', 'expandtabs', 'find', 'index', 'isalnum', 'isalpha', 'isdi git', 'islower', 'isspace', 'istitle', 'isupper', 'join', 'ljust', 'lower', 'lst rip', 'partition', 'replace', 'rfind', 'rindex', 'rjust', 'rpartition', 'rsplit' , 'rstrip', 'split', 'splitlines', 'startswith', 'strip', 'swapcase', 'title', ' translate', 'upper', 'zfill'] >>> Just look at all the possibilities! ;-) _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
