Alternatively, you could do something like: import string for c in string.whitespace: mystring = mystring.replace(c, "") Not as good if you want to remove all whitespace from the string, but it looked like the OP only really had spaces, so a simple mystring=mystring.replace(' ', '') would be the clearest (and fastest). =Tony.Meyer -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
