here's a simple way numChar = 10 testText="akfldjliugflkjlsuagjlfnflgj" for c in xrange(0,len(testText),numChar): print testText[c,c+numChar]
for slightly better performance you should probably do numChar = 10 testText="akfldjliugflkjlsuagjlfnflgj" lenText = len(testText) for c in xrange(0,lenText,numChar): print testText[c,c+numChar] # don't worry about over indexing it's handled cleanly f pemberton wrote: > I have kind of an interesting string, it looks like a couple hundred > letters bunched together with no spaces.
