for char in cellnames[:cols]: Strings are iterable over their characters. Alternatively, you could use chr and ord, but it's probably cleaner and simpler to have the string there. It also automatically and implicitly caps your columns at 26. On the other hand, if you want to support more than 26 columns, you may want to make your own generator function to yield 'A', 'B',... 'Z', 'AA', 'AB', etc. ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
