Re: [Zope] Converting a string to an int

Hi,

I'm working with a form that allows users to enter quantities. Into a table.

on the next form, if I use <dtml-var "_[Category + '_qty']"> I get the value from the previous form exactly as I had planned--sortof. I then proceeded to do some calculations based on this variable and was told that I couldn't because it was a string. No problem thought I, I'll convert it to an integer and I used the following code to do so.

<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('qty', _.string.atoi(_[Category + '_qty']))">

This is way too much effort. ;) Just name the form element: <input type=whatever name="Category:int"...> and ZPublisher will turn it into an int for you. -Michel
