Often, but definitely not always. For instance, your grandmother probably wouldn't think of "newline" as a character. Quite possibly wouldn't count space, either. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure my grandmothers would have counted Sherlock Holmes as a character. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
