anyone know how to let Zope interact with text files on the system on it is running.
I take it you mean files external to the ZODB database
Like making changes to files, search and replare some text or insert or delete text and save the file again? I'm pretty new and i don't know if it is possible for Zope.
You can just about anything you want using external methods (written in Python) or Python Products, including reading, writing, deleting and changing and using regular expressions. Be aware of security issues, though, as you'll effectively be opening up part of your filesystem to access through the web Rik
