I'm trying to make an id from a string, but the string has " on each end
of
it, and I can't find a way to get rid of them in Zope.
I thought of something like: <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('thing', _.string.translate(thestring, _.string.maketrans('',''), '"'))">
But that seems to treat it as the start of a piece of text, and so then thinks that the dtml-let I have just before that line doesn't have a closing tag!
A way to use the url_quote parameter at the same time as setting it's value in the REQUEST thingy would be good, but I don't how to work it.
If the extra quote characters are literally the first and last things in the string, you could use str[1:-1] where "str" is the original value. That bit of Python syntax will chop off the first and last characters. Cheers, Tom P
