... lol.
I'm pretty sure you know what I mean now but I'll clarify it anyway: When I say "in a template" I mean "within the code in a Django template" (Not within a text editor). As far as I know this is limited to a set of Django specific commands. I have a string variable and I want to replace all the instances of a specific string within this variable with another specific string. I know I could do the operation in the view but it's such a simple thing that it doesn't make sense to me to do it that way. I hope that is more clear =] -----Original Message----- From: django-users@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Russell Keith-Magee Sent: Tuesday, 22 January 2008 12:39 PM To: django-users@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Replace function within template?

My text editor has a magnificent Replace operation. It can replace any text with any other text. It even allows you to use regular expressions to specify the text you want to replace. Oh - that wasn't what you meant? You know, when you're asking someone for help, it sometimes helps to elaborate a little on the problem you're having. "Replace operation" is a fairly ambiguous term. If you can't find a reference to "Replace" in the documentation, it might be because we use a different term to describe the feature, or it could be because Django encourages you to look at the problem in a different way ... unless we know what it is you are trying to do, nobody is going to be able to help. So - care to tell us what it is you want to do?
