You could use a different string formatting function, such as percent-formatting: "Hello, {0}, this is %s" % some_string The {0} will be output literally, and the %s will be replaced by the string. Braces are ignored, percent signs are significant. ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
