anyone know a quick way to compare two date strings without having to complete tear the string apart?
Use the DateTime Object, in python: Py$ from DateTime import DateTime Py$ DateTime() > DateTime('Jan 1, 1999') 1 Py$ in DTML: <dtml-if "_.DateTime() > _.DateTime('Jan 1, 1999')"> True. </dtml-else> You should never see this unless the universe reversed itself. </dtml-if> Calling the DateTime object with no arguments means 'now'. It accepts a number of different date formats. I just made this one up and it happily accepted it. In DTML, _.DateTime is synonymous with the global value ZopeTime. So the Second example is equivalent to: <dtml-if "ZopeTime() > ZopeTime('Jan 1, 1999')"> True. </dtml-else> You should never see this unless the universe reversed itself. </dtml-if> -Michel
