Wild goose chase alert! AFAIK there isn't one. Python uses slice notation instead of left/mid/right/substr/whatever functions. I do suggest that instead of looking for such a beastie, you read this section of the Python Tutorial: 3.1.2 Strings. Then, if you think that that was a good use of your time, you might like to read the *whole* tutorial :)) HTH, John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
