Sorry the list I'm pulling from is a .txt file I named modified

[austere bloom]

''.join() concatenates the modified list into one single string

it should work if you just remove it and use just modified?

[gray ice]

I'll give it a shot

[ember blaze]

the lambda would have to be changed too, and then you'd end up with what tathya wrote

[austere bloom]

ah, yes

you need of the [0] on the lambda there to select specifically the first character of each word

[gray ice]

right.

I changed it to

print(only_caps)```

[austere bloom]

you mean you copy pasted Tathya's?..

[gray ice]

I did, and then added in modified for my list name.

[austere bloom]

it'll probably error, but if it does
think for a bit about why, at least this little you should be able to figure out on your own

[placid hull]

what are the contents of modified?

[gray ice]

It's a log file

a .txt

[austere bloom]

they mean it not just conceptually, but rather what is it type in python in practice
(list, string, something else)

[gray ice]

it's a list.

[placid hull]

you cant split a list using .split()

[gray ice]

Thanks for the help guys, I'm going to keep messing around with things till something works.
