has variables and functions, should't those variable change in the
interactive prompt too?
script snippet that calls the function which should return like this
return (stuffedname,bigstring, numbertimes,num_times_search_string)
this is the variable that calls the functions. when a function returns
something AND there is a variable set as shown immediately below,
does't the variable get updated?
tu_count = CountStrings (name, balance, searchstr)
this is the output from the script.
notice how tu_count actually differs when called from interactive
prompt after script exits.
tu_count: ('peterjackson', 'peterjacksonpeterjacksonpeter', 2, 0)
<type 'tuple'>
('davidjacksondavidjacksondavid', 2, 0)>>tu_count
thanks
