Hi, I have a folder which contains text/html files. I use a dtml method on a file to display a file's contents using <dtml-var "this()">. It works great. So the user's browser is here: http://domain.com/folderA/file04/dtml_method What I need is a way to get the contents of file01, file02 & file03 while the user remains at the above url. I've been trying to do this via an [internal] python script. Within the dtml_method script i call the python script -passing it the name of the folder (folderA) and the name of the current file (file04). I use the folderA to create a folderObject (not shown) which I use to access and iterate through the files therein (line 1). Then I check to make sure the current file is not file04 (line 2). Then I append some file-specific properties to a list (used to create links and descriptions) (lines 3-5). I would also like to append the file contents or a portion of the file contents in string form (line 6) but what i have tried has not worked. line 1: for obj in folderObj.objectValues('File'): line 2: if obj.fileName != file04: line 3: r.append([obj.fileName, obj.location]) line 4: r.append([obj.fileName, obj.date]) line 5: r.append([obj.fileName, obj.creator]) line 6: r.append([obj.fileName, obj.??????]) Thoughts? thanks, justin _________________________________________________________________ More photos; more messages; more whatever.
