Re: [Zope] How to import files via FTP and set attributes.

... I am stuck at looping on and parsing the content of the contents.txt file to get and pass the attributes to the add object method. When you have a file object "F", "str(F)" gives you the file content (a string).

When you have a string "s", "s.split(separator)" splits "s" at "separators" into a list of strings. Provided your CSV separators are not imbedded into the content, applyind this twice will parse the CSV string. Look at the PropertyManager API (Embedded Zope help -> "Zope Help" -> "API Reference" -> "PropertyManager") to learn how to add and change properties (aka attributes). Look at the "Image" API (I guess, you will find it ;-)) how to create an Image object from a string or file. Dieter
