Thanks
First you split the string into a list of words, using the split method, just as you do above. Then you join the list of words back into a single string, using the joint method. Hint: "+".join(['the', 'quick', 'brown', 'fox']) => "the+quick+brown+fox" Does that give you enough of a hint? -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
