I assumed this will serve my purpose but when i tried it, You are probably wrong... <dtml-var dname> <dtml-if expr="_.find(dname, sub[1,6])=='Sunday'"> today is sunday </dtml-if> "find" returns an index, i.e. an integer. It will always be different from a string ('Sunday').
You have been told to use the slice syntax: <dtml-if expr="dname[0:6] == 'Sunday'"> Why do you not follow this advice? You probably would start with <dtml-var expr="dname[0:6]"> to get a feeling how slicing works... You can do that in an interactive Python interpreter (to save time): python
s='your string' s[0:6]
But you can do it in DTML, too. Dieter
