To "convert" a string to an object, you use the getitem() function. ## example 1: Your: <dtml-var last_name> #returns: Your: Peter Bengtsson ## example 2: <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('var_to_go_and_get','last_name')"> Your: <dtml-var "_.getitem(var_to_go_and_get)"> # returns: Your: Peter Bengtsson There's more.... You could also do this: <dtml-var "_[var_to_go_and_get]"> or <dtml-var "_['last_name']"> The different between _['foo'] and _.getitem('foo') is tricky.
