What are your criteria for splitting this string? Every 3 characters? If there isn't an even multiple of 3, which group should be shorter, the first, the last, or maybe some other? And do you even really need this as a string at all? Perhaps you really just wanted to format the output of an integer? (I think that may be done via the locale, but I am not sure.) Often it's best to specify why you want to do something, as when using a new language there is often a better way to achieve what you want than the first way that occurs to you. -- Ben Sizer -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
