Thanks David, That works fine although it is a little crude. What I'd like to be able to do is create folders with names and titles derived from an external File where each line contains the name and title, separated by a comma. Guess I need to find out how to get python to read lines from a Zope File object.... On Wed, Jun 22, 2005 at 10:49:07AM -0700, David H wrote:

I need to create around 50 but don't fancy doing this manually.

John,

Put this in a python script and test.

for n in range(10): container.manage_addFolder(id= str(n))

Hi David, I'm used to using the term 'file'. I guess it isn't appropriate in this case since I'm not actually handling a file but a Zope File object. I'm not sure where to look to see how Python handles this... John On Thu, Jun 23, 2005 at 04:30:07PM -0700, David H wrote:

John,

Seems like external scripts and dictionaries are a theme today. You need to check python manuals for file handling. Its a simple implementation. Then you would parse out names and title and put them in a dictionary and return.

then in replace range(1...10) as seen in earlier messages with something *like*

for n in yourDictionary: container.manage_addFolder(id = n, title = yourDictionary[n])
