I like this, it works for any integer. >>> str="asdfjkl;" >>> i=-400 >>> print str[:i]+str[i:] asdfjkl; >>> i = 65534214 >>> print str[:i]+str[i:] asdfjkl;
Please forgive my reassigning str. I am one of those type first think later programmers. -- James Stroud UCLA-DOE Institute for Genomics and Proteomics Box 951570 Los Angeles, CA 90095 http://www.jamesstroud.com/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
