Its called string formatting. %s means insert a string(the s) here. %d means insert a decimal number(the d) here There are a whole bunch of other codes and you can add extra fomatting info too(width, justification etc). This is covered in the Simple Sequences topic of my tutorial. -- Alan Gauld Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
