It worked! Thank you. One question: in your reply, are you saying that Python would have treated the two separate underscores the same way as a long underscore i.e. it's a stylistic choice rather than a functional necessity? There is no "long underscore" in the character set. If there were, Python would not know what to do with it as it was created back when ASCII and ISO-Latin-1 were the common character sets. (Interesting: Windows Character Map utility calls the underscore character "low line").That's what Unicode calls it - charmap is probably using that name.Many word processors are configured to change sequences of hyphens: - -- --- into - – — (hyphen, en-dash, em-dash)... But in this case, those are each single characters in the character map (using Windows-Western, similar to ISO-Latin-1): hyphen is x2D, en-dash is x96, em-dash is x97 (note that en-/em-dash are >127, hence would not be in pure ASCII)Hyphen is U+002D, en dash is U+2013, em dash is 2014. :)
Not quite. :-) Hyphen is U+2010. U+002D is hyphen-minus; it's does double-duty, for historical reasons. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
