Hi,

I would like to know if someone can help me with this one. I need to loop by a set of variables so I can insert then into my database. I started looking at the following example:

<dtml-in "16,21,3,49"> item# <dtml-var sequence-index>,<dtml-var sequence-number> = <dtml-var sequence-item> </dtml-in>

and it's output

item# 0,1 = 16 item# 1,2 = 21 item# 2,3 = 3 item# 3,4 = 49

So.. I changed the <dtml-in> tag by repalcing the fixed values with one of my variables. It did worg fine :

<dtml-in description> <dtml-var sequence-item> </dtml-in>

The problem is that I need more than one column per line of data E.G.

<dtml-in (ordnumber,description)> <dtm-var sequence-item> </dtml-in>

output

01 Freight 02 Delivery

Is there a way I can do that ?

thanks,

Flavio

You can use "map(None,l1,l2)" to "transpose" the two lists: If "l1" is "x1,x2,..." and "l2" is "y1,y2,...", then "map(None,l1,l2)" is "(x1,y1), (x2,y2), ...". You can then iterate over the result: "sequence-key" will be the element from the first and "sequence-item" the from the second list. Dieter
