Hi,

I am not sure what 'random' does (what package is it from?), but

list=['1','2','3']
slist=','.join(list)

works, while

list=[1,2,3]
slist=','.join(list)

does not.  It appears 'join' only works on lists (and maybe tuples?) of
string objects and the list must be passed in as an argument.  Try
translating your list into a list of string representation of numbers and
then using join.

Hope this is a useful clue,
-Jason

Hi,

I'm trying to use the join() method on a list to be able to store the
contents of that list in a file. Basically I want the contents of the list
stored without the []. I've tried numerous ways of using the join()
method,
but they all return errors. I've tried using the tutorial and
documentation
on this one but still can't work it out.

errors: TypeError: sequence item 0: expected string, int found



code:
LotNumbers = random.sample(range(1,45), 6) #random numbers from range into
list)
    ','.join()                                                  #?what's
the
correct syntax?
    fout = open("draw__output.dat", "a")
    fout.write(LotNumbers)                             #writing string to
file
    fout.close()
    vDraws = vDraws - 1

Can someone show me the correct way to use the join() method in this case?

Many thanks,

Robert
