Hi! Yes, you can replace (sub)strings. Try something like this: ------------- import string str_to_modify = 'abc xpto abc' str_to_modify.replace('abc', 'new') ------------- you get the new string: 'new xpto new' I hope this help, Paula Mangas On Thu, 10 Jan 2002, Todd Loomis wrote:

Hi All:

I'm using the titles of my pages as the subject in my webmaster email links. However some of my titles use "&" and it seems that it breaks off the rest of the title after it. Can I replace the "&" with "&"? If so how and or do I need to do some thing else?

Thanks, Todd

Using dtml, the html_quote option will take care of this: <dtml-var name="title" html_quote> also &dtml-title; will do the same thing. hth, /---------------------------------------------------\ Casey Duncan, Sr. Web Developer National Legal Aid and Defender Association c.duncan@nlada.org \---------------------------------------------------/
