What do you mean by "string"? foo = "abc abc cde abc ijk abc cde abc" "foo" is one "string". If you want substrings, specify what kind of substrings you mean. All occurences of "abc", for example. > there are > and then do something with each, or the number. When I say string I mean how > many "strings" are in the string "string string string non-string string" Do you mean something like "count and return all occurences of the substring 'abc' in foo"? Looks like you should use the re module. GS -- Grzegorz Staniak <gstaniak _at_ wp [dot] pl> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
