And that works for multiple values provided they are unambiguous. "%d,%d,%d" % 1,2,3 You need the parens if the substitution values are more complex and include operators: "%d,%d,%d" % 1, 2, 1+2 Will give an error (adding int to string) you need the parens here: "%d,%d,%d" % (1, 2, 1+2) HTH, Alan G _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
