I think it trys to format 'blah' using 'format', not the contents of the format variable, as in
"format" % "blah" Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? TypeError: not all arguments converted
Use a script if you want to get the format from a variable.
Does anyone know how to dynamically format strings in DTML? I never got (or never saw) an answer to this question. I basically want to pass the fmt attribute as a string varable dynamically to a method. The method formats some 50 strings so I really don't want 50 dtml-if statements (not to mention ifelse and else statements).

I'm not exactly sure what kind of formatting you want to do, but you can do it the standard python way - <dtml-let mystring="'blah'" format="'%s'"> <dtml-var expr="(format) % (mystring)"> </dtml-let> <br> <dtml-let myfloat="_.float('123.434343')" format="'%5.2f'"> <dtml-var expr="(format) % (myfloat)"> </dtml-let> <br> <dtml-let myfloat="_.float('123.434343')" mystring="'doughnut'" format="'You bought a %s for $%5.2f'"> <dtml-var expr="(format) % (mystring, myfloat)"> </dtml-let> -Paul Matt Gregory wrote:

I'm pretty knew to python, so I was looking at the problem from a strictly dtml perspective. Your solution will work nicely...
I'm not exactly sure what kind of formatting you want to do, but you can do it the standard python way -
Specifically, I'm changing the links in a bunch of JavaScript arrays based on a get method parameter defining the portlet retrieving the JavaScript. There are possibly 8 portlets retrieving the JavaScript, so the links change for each portlet. For that reason I wanted to be able to dynamically format the string resulting from the portlet name and get method parameters. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Erickson" <erickson@kaivo.com> To: "Matt Gregory" <matthew.gregory@skyleach.com> Cc: "Zope" <zope@zope.org> Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2002 5:30 PM Subject: Re: [Zope] dynamic format strings (was: using let and fmt)
