Hi,

I'm trying to use the join() method on a list to be able to store the 
contents of that list in a file. Basically I want the contents of the list 
stored without the []. I've tried numerous ways of using the join() method, 
but they all return errors. I've tried using the tutorial and documentation 
on this one but still can't work it out.

errors: TypeError: sequence item 0: expected string, int found



code:
LotNumbers = random.sample(range(1,45), 6) #random numbers from range into 
list)
    ','.join()                                                  #?what's the 
correct syntax?
    fout = open("draw__output.dat", "a")
    fout.write(LotNumbers)                             #writing string to 
file
    fout.close()
    vDraws = vDraws - 1

Can someone show me the correct way to use the join() method in this case?

Many thanks,

Robert
