> Ok thanks! Btw why double quotes " instead of single ' ? Either one will do...there's not much difference. I try to use double-quotes most of the time, just so when I include an apostrophe in-line (which I do more often than I include a double-quote in-line), I don't have to think.
string1a = "John's dog" string1b = 'John\'s dog' string2a = "She said \"hello\"" string2b = 'She said "hello"' string3a = 'She said "John\'s nice" in a letter' string3b = "She said \"John's nice\" in a letter' string3c = """She said "John's nice" in a letter""" string3d = '''She said "John's nice" in a letter''' My usual aim is for clarity, so I tend to go with the versions that have the fewest backslashes in them. -tkc -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
