Geez, a while back we had a question about this from somebody else which Evan Simpson solved (before he worked for DC, back when he was a lounge singer). You may want to search the mail archives for messages between me, Evan Simpson, and errrrr.... somebody else... wait here it is... Date: Mon, 6 Dec 1999 09:45:24 -0600 From: Evan Simpson evan@tokenexchange.com Subject: [Zope] String to object ID Look at that whole thread. Then read about _.string.split (ie. Python's 'string.split' function). You may want to rethink your way of doing this, however. Are you sure you need to use a URL-style string to reference the object?

I want to be able to take a URL and read the properties of that object:
You can't do it directly in a WITH tag
Example: <!--#with "http://domain/my/object"-->
but it seems like the whole premise of Zope is translating URLs into Objects, is there a routine that can be used in DTML to translate the URL to an object reference?
Example: <!--#with " ObjectFromURL( 'http://domain/my/object' ) "--> <!--#var id --><br> <!--#/with-->
Thanks! kh
