in reply to Re^3: chopping a string into slices - is there a more elegant way to do it?
in thread chopping a string into slices - is there a more elegant way to do it?

I don't "mean to work with" anything--ask the OP.

I was. I was giving information to the OP about your post. It's ironic that you accuse me of arrogance.

probably aware enough to recognise immediately that the suggestion, to use unpack is not going to work for their situation

I expect him to not know the assumptions made by a solution he didn't know before you gave it to him. I simply inform him of those assumptions. I leave it up to him to decide whether the limitations imposed by those assumptions affect him or not. That's not treating the OP as stupid.
