What is it you are trying to slice out of the URL, the name of the parent or something? Quite frankly the concept you have presented scares me ;^) There is likely a better way that doesn't involve slicing the URL.
Please let us know what you are trying to do (rather than just throw broken code at us) and maybe we can help you better.

Thanks Casey,
I made silly mistake by making start > end. I feel sorry for myself !
Anyway what I was trying to do is this; I have a DTML Method that search a Zcatalog to return all the Dtml Docs with id matching var mm. I was able to display the absolute_url of these Docs without any stress. Then there is need for me to get some of the Docs and display at least some paragraphs b4 pointing the absolute_url to the their details.These docs are inside subfolders which are in the same level as the DTML Method.
So, the documents are being returned via a ZCatalog search? Try this: <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('mm', ZopeTime().toZone('GMT+1').strftime('%d%m%y'))"> <dtml-in "Zcat_Index_Dtml_doc(id=mm)"> <dtml-var expr="getObject[0:400]">...<br> <a href="&dtml-getURL;"> more </a> </dtml-in> ...note that this uses the getObject and getURL methods that ZCatalog search results normally have. cheers, Chris
