[Zope] stupid question: first 7 chars of an URL

[Jose Soares]

It works for me:
-----------------------------------------
<dtml-let urlvar="'http://'">
  <dtml-if "urlvar[0:7]=='http://'">
     The URL is: <dtml-var "urlvar[0:7]">
  <dtml-else>
     The URL is NOT ...
  </dtml-if>
</dtml-let>
-------------------
result:

  The URL is: http://
