Try this: datacode = datacode[:20] + "0" + datacode[21:] This is called "slicing". We take a slice of the string, from the start up to just before position 20; "0"; and a slice from position 21 to the end of the string. The three pieces are then concatenated together, giving a new string. -- Steve _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
