BTW: you'd better learn some basics on Python (easy) otherwise you'll need to post here 50 times a day for such problems :) In addition, nearly 99% docs on Zope scripting stuffs are based on Pyhton. ----- Original Message ----- From: "D.

The variable looks like : this: 108243-132 and I need to split it where the - is. I can do this easy : enough in Perl but this Zope server happens to be on a Wintendo 2000 box : and I haven't been able to get perl working correctly with Zope. Is there : an easy way to split a variable with dtml? : : "The Zope Book" that I bought doesn't seem to cover any of this, or it : does in such an obscure way that I can't find what I'm looking for. It's : been a great book to start with, but I need something that's a little more : in depth. I've seen a few more books on Amazon and I'm thinking about : buying the Zope Bible to keep me busy until Dieter's book comes out. Does : anybody have any suggestions? : : Rick : : :
