[Tutor] Using join instead of string.joinfield

[Harper, Gina]

Easy.  
Suppose you want to join a list of words with hyphens.
>>> a_list = ['this', 'is', 'a', 'list', 'of', 'words']
>>> sep_char = '-'
>>> print sep_char.join(a_list)
this-is-a-list-of-words
>>> 
*g*

Subject: [Tutor] Using join instead of string.joinfield


Hello,

The documentation says that the built-in join method now replaces the
string.joinfield function.  However how do you achieve the same
operation? The join method accepts only one argument, that is, the list
of strings to join. How do you then specify the separating character?


Thanks
Bernard
