use a regular expression split with a character group: >>> s = "breakfast=spam+egg-bacon" >>> import re >>> re.split("[-+=]", s) ['breakfast', 'spam', 'egg', 'bacon'] to deal with an arbitrary set of delimiting characters without having to bother with RE syntax, use re.escape: >>> re.split("[" + re.escape("-+=") + "]", s) ['breakfast', 'spam', 'egg', 'bacon'] </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
