Say I have a sequence seq and a string s, and I call s.join(seq). Here's what it does:s.join(seq) == seq[0] + s + seq[1] + s + seq[2] + s + ... + seq[-2] + s + seq[-1] So if you call 'abc'.join('ABC'), you get: 'ABC'[0] + 'abc' + 'ABC'[1] + 'abc' + 'ABC'[2] which is: 'A' + 'abc' + 'B' + 'abc' + 'C' Hope this helps. -- John.
John, Your explanation is very help. It does make be wonder the usefulness of join with strings. Do you have a practical example/situation? Steve _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
