Sorry this is in ZPT, I realize its not specifically template related, =
but a template with script calls would be the preferred result. =20
I'm mildly experienced at Zope, yet haven't found the 'simple' way to =
execute the following. I been going in circles on this and all help =
would be appreciated. Rather than correct the approaches I have been =
trying, I think it best to get some fresh perspectives.
Objective: User FTPs a batch of files into an empty zope folder along =
with a text document called contents.txt.
contents.txt has one line per uploaded file in CSV or similar parseable =
layout that begins with the file name.
After the upload, the user triggers a posting process (a 'process the =
upload' form buttom with Action=3DDo_It().
The executed Do_it object reads the text file and loops once per line, =
for each line, it parses it into a file name and several attributes. =20
The object then writes the uploaded file content to a target folder as a =
zope object having these attributes.
I am stuck at looping on and parsing the content of the contents.txt =
file to get and pass the attributes to the add object method. =
Suggestions, syntax, or pointers to how-tos all gratefully accepted.
Thank you!
Gary
