I am an abject newbie, so mock away (actually no-one ever does that in this group..)
Anyway, I want to replace one character in a string, based in that character's position in the string. For example if I wanted to replace the 4th character in 'foobar' (the b)with the contents of another string, newchar, what would be the easiest way? I know this touches on immutability etc, but I can't find string methods to return the first 3 characters, and then the last 2 characters, which I could concatenate with newchar to make a new string. I know the string methods are there, but can't find it in any docs, and just want to check the syntax, unless there is an easier way. Thanks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
