[SOLVED] Find string in array

[mevets]

[Solved] - I have an array of all the days off the week. I also have a var with the name of the current day written like "Tuesday". How do I search the array of days for my current day and get an integer returned speaking to where the instance is.

now = datetime.datetime.now()
curDay = now.strftime("%A")
weekDays = ("Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thurday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday")
intDay = # this where I would search for curDay in weekDays
cmbDay.set_active(intDay) # set the combo to the current day

I had to change

weekDays = ("Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thurday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday")

to

weekDays = ["Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thurday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday"]

and to find where the day was in the array of days I

weekDays.index(curDay)

So hard to find on google
