This returns the slice from character 85 to character 3 in the string, read
forwards. Basically, as Python slices are forgiving (because the borders are
actually "illogical"), this amounts to nothing, but could also amount
to: "your indexing boundaries are invalid."
Basically, what you want is:
district_combo = line[85:88]
where 88 = 85 + 3 (3 being the length). Read up on Python slices...

Heiko,
Thank you. I was thinking like mysql for the indexs. Thinking start at 85 and go for 3 characters instead of like python start at x and go up to and including y.
The pages I had googled showed examples that were less than clear ;)
