I've looked hard at the two pages returned for "PathIndex" on Zope.org, and cannot make sense out of how to use 'level'. From the example, which is full of paths like '/aa/bb/cc' and '/cc/bb/cc' - all of the same size and using the same three letters -, I cannot tell if I can do a path query to find objects ONLY in a certain path, and not above or below it. I have a situation where I have a hierarchy of Task content objects, and in one case I only want to display the immediate child tasks at certain paths (basically to top-level tasks), using the catalog query except for (hopefully) one changed parameter. http://www.zope.org/Members/michel/ZB/SearchingZCatalog.dtml http://www.zope.org//Wikis/DevSite/Proposals/PathIndexDocumentation Jeffrey P Shell, jeffrey@cuemedia.com
