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. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
