Re: [Zope] TEXT FILE Operation
Marcello, I'd say the simplest way is to create an external method, something like (untested): def addToTextFile(self, thingToAdd = None): if thingToAdd: f=open('thefile','w') f.write(thingToAdd+'\n') f.close() or similar for changing/updating etc. If you are short on experience for external methods, refer to the Zope documentation (?) for advice. hth phil [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: "Marcello Lupo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, September 12, 2000 11:02 AM Subject: [Zope] TEXT FILE Operation > Hi to all, > anyone know how to let Zope interact with text files on the system on it > is running. > Like making changes to files, search and replare some text or insert or > delete text and save the file again? > I'm pretty new and i don't know if it is possible for Zope. > Thank You in advice. > Marcello > > ___ > Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope > ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** > (Related lists - > http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce > http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ) ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

It will let you incorporate local directories into your Zope site as if they were inside Zope There is also some documentation about writing files outside Zope (http://www.zope.org/Members/sabaini/externalfiles-howto) Perhaps this will get you started some more Rik ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
Re: [Zope] TEXT FILE Operation
Thank you, infact this is the problem, right now i'm not able to program in python but only on using zope. I used the FSSession product before and i think that should be a Similar product to make changes on files. thank you for the help.

You can just about anything you want using external methods (written in Python) or Python Products, including reading, writing, deleting and changing and using regular expressions. Be aware of security issues, though, as you'll effectively be opening up part of your filesystem to access through the web Rik ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
[Zope] TEXT FILE Operation
Hi to all, anyone know how to let Zope interact with text files on the system on it is running. Like making changes to files, search and replare some text or insert or delete text and save the file again? I'm pretty new and i don't know if it is possible for Zope. Thank You in advice.
