Can any one explain why the following string slice works only for the first character, but not for any other ?$ cat /tmp/tmp.py #!/usr/bin/env python data = 'F0023209006-0101' print data print "|"+data[0:1]+"|" print "|"+data[1:1]+"|" print "|"+data[2:1]+"|" $ python `cygpath -w /tmp/tmp.py` F0023209006-0101 |F| || ||
Slices are defined by [start_idx:end_idx] not [start_idx:length] so you want
data[0:1] data[1:2] data[2:3] -tkc -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
