objectIds is much faster since it just a property of the container, where as objectValues actually goes and gets each object inside the container. You wont notice it until you get large numbers of objects though... <dtml-var "_.len(objectIds())"> Cheers. -- Andy McKay. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Oliver Bleutgen" <myzope@gmx.net> To: <zope@zope.org> Sent: Tuesday, September 18, 2001 6:32 AM Subject: Re: [Zope] How to count files in a folder?

...

I want to count the number of files within a folder (the folder does not have subfolders), so I can say "This folder countains ## pictures". How can that be done?

Hi,

<dtml-var "_.len(foldername.objectValues())">

or in an dtml-method in that folder (or aquired into that folder)

<dtml-var "_.len(objectValues())">

cheers, oliver
