Why don't you try it? >>> s = "abcdefgh" >>> s[4::-1] 'edcba' The rules for extended slicing are not explained very well in the docs, and can be confusing. In my experience, apart from [::-1] it is best to always use a positive stride (the third number). -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
