Python has an operator call 'in', which will allow you to do what you're after. "1 in (1,2,3)" will be true "4 in (1,2,3)" will be false "not 1 in (1,2,3)" will be false So you'd be after something along the lines of: not cellboard[0] in (cellboard[1], ...., celboard[8]). This seems quite tedious to write, maybe you should consider something along the lines of using slicing: not celboard[0] in cellboard[1:8] I hope i have given you enough tools to do what you're trying to do. -- Stephen Thorne Development Engineer -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
