Hi Michael, I have talked to this guy offlist (basically you gave him the answer (smiles)). Cheers, Joseph

It spot back the index 5 (I used Craig Daniel Sirna) Which search function are you talking about? Is it a string method or something else? One of the first string methods I learned about when I first started with Python was the .split() method. For example, in the interactive shell try this: >>> a="one,two,three" >>> a.split(',') Does this help at all? > That is correct for the first space, but I can't figure out how to get > it to continue to the next space. > The indexing process is also a bit confusingto me. Which part of indexing is confusing? The syntax for slicing? I admit I sometimes find it a bit complicated to know when and where to use -1 as the index. > I get that I can use len(fullName) to set the length of the index, and > how the index is counted, but after that I'm lost. > > I have emailed my professor a few times, but haven't gotten a > response.(online course) > > Any help would be greatly appreciated. Again, show us the code you have so far and maybe we can help you figure it out. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
