I have to change all stx links in a dtml doc to html which is not done for any reason. It's an old zope (2.3.2) :( python is 1.5.2 I tried with string.find, but i get a "string object has no atribute 'find'" error.
In Python 1.5.2, you use the "find" function in the module "string". The "string" module is exposed as "_.string" in DTML.
... Here are the most simple pattern i tried, the double quotes quoted with \ and not, in triple quotes and not etc. Everytime i add the double quotes, my pattern fails.
I cannot tell you why it does not work for you in Zope. I can tell you that regular expressions in External Methods are treated the same way as in external scripts (with one notable exception: you should not use compile regular expressions in default function arguments). Especially, there is no problem with '"'.
.... url = r'["=]?((about|gopher|http|https|ftp|mailto|file):%s' % urlendchar
this is the pattern i need: link = r'(".+?"):%s' % (url)
Looks like unbalanced "()": In the "url" definition, I see 2 opening but one closing parenthesis. Dieter
