>>> import string >>> help(string.find) Help on function find in module string: find(s, *args) find(s, sub [,start [,end]]) -> in Return the lowest index in s where substring sub is found, such that sub is contained within s[start,end]. Optional arguments start and end are interpreted as in slice notation. Return -1 on failure. >>> help(string.index) Help on function index in module string: index(s, *args) index(s, sub [,start [,end]]) -> int Like find but raises ValueError when the substring is not found. -- Erik Max Francis && [EMAIL PROTECTED] && http://www.alcyone.com/max/ San Jose, CA, USA && 37 20 N 121 53 W && AIM erikmaxfrancis I can't remember to forget you. -- Leonard Shelby -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
