Glad you solved it. Thanks for coming back with an update. Depending on your circs, you might want to try a more general solution to that problem, like: <code> s = "This, is,a, string, with, varying, amounts, of,space" print [s.strip () for s in s.split (",")] </code> TJG _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
