hi, servel stringify your i's: s = s + "<input type=hidden value='%s' name='filename%s'>" % ((REQUEST.filename + str(i)), i) or you can iterator = str(i) s = s + "<input type=hidden value='%s' name='filename%s'>" % ((REQUEST.filename + iterator)), iterator) (you may have to put some of the above lines back together.) -- Jim Washington servel yannick wrote:

I would like to use 12 files and I would like to use a loop to create an output similar to:

<input type=hidden value='D:\TEMP\DEFAULT.PR~' name='filename1'> <input type=hidden value='' name='filename2'> <input type=hidden value='D:\pagefile.sys' name='filename3'> ... <input type=hidden value='C:\pagefile.sys' name='filename12'>

To reach this result, I would like to use something similar to the following code:

def SaveMenu(self, REQUEST=None): s="" i = 1

while i <= 12:

s = s + "<input type=hidden value='%s' name='filename%s'>" % ((REQUEST.filename + i), i) i = i + 1 return s

Indeed the statement REQUEST.filename + i is illegal. Is there any alternative to provide a similar result?
