Works well. Now, can I test for existence of the included document? The following produces an "excessive recursion" error: <dtml-let thisid="getId()"> <dtml-with book> <dtml-if "_[thisid]"> <dtml-var "_[thisid]"> </dtml-if> </dtml-with> </dtml-let> *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 12/20/01 at 6:53 PM Chris McDonough wrote:

Here's what I'm trying to do: in a subdirectory off the current one, called "book", there is a file with the same name as this one, and I want to include it in the current DTML document. Here's what I have so far:
<dtml-with book> <dtml-let text="_['URL'].split('/')[-1]"> <dtml-if text> <dtml-var text> </dtml-if> </dtml-let> </dtml-with>
The problem is, <dtml-var text> simply spits out the name of the document, rather than the document contents.
(I feel like I've struggled with this before...).
Is it possible?
Try this (assuming it's in a DTML document, otherwise get "thisid" in your workarond manner as per the last message):
<dtml-let thisid="getId()"> <dtml-with book> <dtml-var "_[thisid]"> </dtml-with> </dtml-let> -- Chris McDonough Zope Corporation http://www.zope.org http://www.zope.com "Killing hundreds of birds with thousands of stones"
