Hi,   Here is a code that reports whether the string is a palindrome or not. I have posted it to help people new to programming ( i am also a newbie) to understand the logic and comment on it.   Share and expand your knowledge as well as understanding...   Happy scripting   Regards, Asrar   Cod

[Tutor] Zipfile and File manipulation questions.

First question..This is the code that I have:for filename in zfile.namelist():    outfile = open(filename, 'w')    outfile.write(zfile.read(filename))    outfile.close()Is there a way to say : for filename in zfile.namelist() contains '.txt, .exe':    outfile = open(filename, 'w')
