This doesn't work: >>> s = "that's all folks" >>> s.replace("all", "nothing") "that's nothing folks" >>> s "that's all folks" But this does: >>> old = "that's all folks" >>> new = old.replace("all", "nothing") >>> new "that's nothing folks" Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
