Well, I don't want to give it to you on a plate, since it's homework, but you might find this page useful: <http://docs.python.org/lib/string-methods.html#string-methods>. I'd also suggest that you have a run through the tutorial - <http://docs.python.org/tut/>. It's time well spent! If you don't get on with that, there's another couple of tutorials available aimed directly at those new to programming - <http://www.livewires.org.uk/python/> and <http://www.ibiblio.org/obp/thinkCSpy/>. Lastly, although neophytes are more than welcome here, you might find the tutor mailing list a good place to ask questions in the early days of your Python experience. You'll find it here - <http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor>. Good luck, and welcome to Python! -- Cheers, Simon B, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.brunningonline.net/simon/blog/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
