Raw Input Question

[hokiegal99]

How can I pass the content of one varible into raw_input? See below for
what I'm trying to do:

XXX = raw_input("1. Enter the string that you'd like to find: ")
y = raw_input("2. Enter the string that you'd like to replace XXX with: ")

I'm trying to pass x into y. I tried the "Enter the string that you'd
like to replace", XXX, "with:" approach, but Pyhton told me that I could
only pass 1 argument, no more.

Thanks!!!

Ah, you are confusing print's behavior for general string concatenation.
I believe what you want to do is:

y = raw_input("2. Enter the string that you'd like to replace "+XXX+" with:")

or

y = raw_input("2. Enter the string that you'd like to replace %s with:" % XXX)

raw_input takes a string, and a string like any other. You can build
the string yourself:

"Enter the string to replace " + XXX + " with:"

or

"Enter the string to replace %s with:" % XXX

This one makes more sense to me so I used it, it works great:

"Enter the string to replace %s with:" % XXX

Thank you for your help!!!
