Mike asked:
I have a date string (ie dd/mm/yy) which I'm drawing out of a database (ODBC connection to Access) with a Z SQL method and I need to use that data to set the initial condition of a set of 3 select items (ie day, month and year). Is there a way to split this date (it'll come out looking like dd/mm/yy) to get the components of it
You could use the Python "string slice" syntax, like so: <dtml-let day_of_month="_['start_date'][:2]" month_of_year="_['start_date'][3:5]" year_of_century="_['start_date'][6:8]"> The <dtml-var day_of_month> day,<br> of the <dtml-var month_of_year> month,<br> of the year 20<dtml-var month_of_century><br> </dtml-let> Later, Jerry S.
