I need to split a variable out into two parts. The variable looks like this: 108243-132 and I need to split it where the - is. I can do this easy enough in Perl but this Zope server happens to be on a Wintendo 2000 box and I haven't been able to get perl working correctly with Zope. Is there an easy way to split a variable with dtml?
The best way is probably to use the string module. The line below (untested) should provide you with a variable in the REQUEST called 'your_split_variable_which_is_now_a_list' that is a list of the two halves of your original variable. <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('your_split_variable_which_is_now_a_list', string.split(your_variable, '-'))"> hth tim
