I seriously don't understand why you're having so much trouble with this and why this thread has gotten as long as it has :/ Look here: $ python Python 2.6.5 (r265:79063, Jun 13 2010, 14:03:16) [GCC 4.4.4 (CRUX)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> s = "foo\"bar'" >>> s 'foo"bar\'' >>> s.replace("\"", "").replace("'", "") 'foobar' >>> Surely you can use the same approach ? cheers James -- -- James Mills -- -- "Problems are solved by method" _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
