[Tutor] Underlining?

Hi,

I'm trying to create a report and auto-underline some of the stuff i.e. to
create a line of "equal signs" the same length as the server name. This is
how I'm trying to do it:

      import string
      sServer = "SERVER 1"
      string.translate(string.ljust("", len(sServer)), "=", " ")

It fails (naturally) on the basis that I need s 256 character string for
translation which is just a bit excessive for my needs :-)

Does anyone know of a more appropriate method or function for this

Cheers

James
