Replacing instances of a character in a string

Question

This simple code that simply tries to replace semicolons (at i-specified postions) by colons does not work:

for i in range(0,len(line)):
     if (line[i]==\"         


        

Answer 1

If you want to replace a single semicolon:

for i in range(0,len(line)):
 if (line[i]==";"):
     line = line[:i] + ":" + line[i+1:]

Havent tested it though.
