Re: [Zope] string to list?

Hello,

I have a Z SQL method which returns me a string like {{"a"},{"b"},{"c"}}

Is there anyway I can write a dtml-in loop to pick out each element from the string? I want to be able to do something like:

<dtml-in my_zsql_method_which_returns_a_string> <dtml-var element>, </dtml-in>

and that should give me "a,b,c".

You are sure, the string always has this format? Then there is a solution, though an external method might be better: <dtml-let result=sql_method strip_outer_chars="result[3:-3]" split="_.string.split(strip_outer_chars,'\x22},{\x22')" rejoin="_.string.join(split,',')" > <dtml-var rejoin> <!-- your a,b,c --> </dtml-let> Dieter
