    replied to manipulating a string using ord()
    in Python
    **Solved**

    In case anyone stumbles across curiosity on a smilar subject, here is the code that finally made this work for me:

    Code:
    >>> plaintext = 'aeiou'
>>> list = [ord(letter) for letter in plaintext]
>>> list
[97, 101, 105, 111, 117]
>>> list2 =[list[i-1]+i for i in range(len(list))]
>>> list2
[117, 98, 103, 108, 115]
>>>
    ...

      well I'm almost there! I've found my way to the code that gets me (almost) where I want. There is only one small problem I don't seem to understand.

      Code:
      >>>t = raw_input("Enter string: ")
>>>Enter string: aaaaa
>>>list = []
>>>for letter in t:
            list.append(ord(letter))

>>> list
[97, 97, 97, 97, 97]
      ...

        Right, thanks! I'm just frustrated because I've been pouring over forums and books for weeks trying to get off the ground with python and I feel like it's more trouble at every turn.

        Thanks for the post! Your code helps more than I can express! You've let me see the light, thanks again!

          manipulating a string using ord()

          I'm trying to manipulate strings of user input data, using ord() to assign the decimal value to each character in the string. I can return the values, but need to understand the best way to store the decimal values, manipulate them, and return the new values to a new string.

          Any input or suggestions?

            I'm not sure I'm able to understand how to apply the code above to the purpose at hand. Is there any way to convert the character to it's decimal value? I've seen this done with C/C++, C#, even VB, I have a hard time believing python can't!

              I came across this article on MSDN and was hoping someone here can help me understand a similar way to accomplish this with Python?

                dd = dict(zip(letter s, range(ord('a'), ord('z')+1)+ran ge(ord('A'), ord('Z')+1)))

                Well this is certainly pointing me in the right direction (I think). Thanks for the post!

                It does bring me to a question, however. In your example, your output for A is 66. When I replicate the code, I get an output of 97. If I pay more attention, I find your code:

                Code:
                #
>>> letters
#
'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVW
                ...

                  I want to assign each ASCII character the associated decimal value. Can anyone point me in the right direction to do this without manually defining each character?

                    While I am a big fan of dropload ( www.dropload.co m ) and rapid share ( ww/w.rapidshare.co m ), they are both limited to 100MB.

                    A quick google search and I found not only sites like file lime ( www.filelime.co m ) and www.uploading.c om, but even www.box.net which claims up to 1GB free file sharing and storage, though couldn't determine if that was gross storage space or if you could actually store a single 1GB file there. If you use...
