[Zope] Accessing file contents (LocalFS)

[Mark Snellings]

I've tried the following to access the contents of LocalFS files:

     <dtml-in "test.fileIds()">
         <dtml-var "_['sequence-item'].data">
     </dtml-in>

but I get an the following error:

	Error Type: AttributeError
	Error Value: data

If I use "id" or "mtime" the syntax is correct, but not data.  Any other
suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
Mark

you probably only need to combine a few of the things you allready know
(untested)::

     <dtml-in "test.fileIds()">
         <dtml-var "_['sequence-item'].data">
     </dtml-in>

Beware that they are all text files though ;-)
