greetings nathan! so, if you were wondering whether you were getting mixed messages from nick and tim... *both* of them are "right." you cannot perform a query on a TextProperty because they are not searchable (as per tim), but if you've already retrieved your object out of the datastore, as nick has said, it's like a normal string so in Python, you could just use the 'in' operator or the normal string methods.
hope this makes their answers less confusing! -- wesley - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Core Python Programming", Prentice Hall, (c)2007,2001 "Python Fundamentals", Prentice Hall, (c)2009 http://corepython.com wesley.j.chun, developer relations, google app engine On Thu, Dec 17, 2009 at 2:15 AM, Manny Nathan <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > I am trying to use text objects instead of string to store data (since we > can only store 500 characters in a string).
