I am working on a very simple "feedback" type form for my site. I realize this can be achieved with the collector or other intermediately complex means, but for this site I need something very light weight and simple. All I need is a table of "Subject","Email address" to be read from a file rather than hiding the values in the form. Basically the method that renders the form reads the file and picks up the subjects to make a drop down, then when submitted it matches the subject to the appropriate email address. If it's not a valid subject it drops the request, and only sends email to the right person. If this were perl on a traditional web server I would have done this in like 60 seconds. As it is I can't figure out how to read in the data from the text file so it goes into an array properly. I was hoping it might be as simple as doing file_name subject1,email1@host.com subject2,email2@host.com subject3,email3@host2.com method ... Form header and fields <select> <dtml-call file_name> <dtml-in file_name> <dtml-let keytosplit=sequence-item feedback_name="_.string.split(keytosplit, ',')[0]" email_address="_.string.split(keytosplit, ',')[1]"> <option value="<dtml-var feedback_name>"><dtml-var feedback_name></select> </dtml-let> </dtml-in> However it treats file_name as a string and won't let me <dtml-in> over that. Is there a way to easily convert the contents of the file to a line by line input for a <dtml-in >statement, or some other quick and dirty way to do this? I've come up with some more complex ways with adding a header character to each line to split on, with some form of loop through it all, but turning the other file into a set for <dtml-let> seems to be the most straight forward way to do it. I've come up with half a dozen other ways to handle this that include MySQL, or other products, but I really would like it to be as simple as possible with as few external dependencies as possible. --- Allen Brokken IAT Services - ISAM University of Missouri brokkena@missouri.edu
