1)Folders names are directly related to string fields in a MySQL database which use spaces between words (eg New York), but folders names don't use spaces (eg NewYork). How can I skip spaces from database fields to make them refer to these folders (eg New York --> NewYork)?
_.string.replace(folder_name, " ", "") This will return a string with the spaces removed, if 'folder_name' is a string variable containing the folder name (with spaces).
2)Using LocalFS, can I do something like <dtml- var "localfsObject['<dtml-var par1>'].['<dtml-var par11>'], where par1 and par11 are folder names (after skiping spaces)?
You can't nest dtml like this. Just use: <dtml-var "localfsObject[par1][par11]"> (also note that I removed the . between [par1] and [par11]) See http://www.zope.org/Members/jfarr/HowTo/DTML_with_LocalFS for more information on using DTML with Local File System objects. --jfarr
