Python is strictly typed (unlike some languages like Javascript), you cannot compare a string with a number although the string only contains numbers. sys.argv[...] is a list of strings so preNumber[0] is a string, while 0 is an integer. > number = '+972' + preNumber[1:] > else: > number = '+' + preNumber > > Where is my flaw? _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
