One of the list elements is empty, there is no index "0".

Try:

   contains '-' as 8.th character 


"item[7:8]" gives the 8.th character, if it exists, and otherwise
the empty string.

[Zope] Working with Lists

2000-07-20 Thread Terry Babbey

Here is my code and my error.



  




Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource.

   Error Type: IndexError
   Error Value: string index out of range

CL is a property of a dtml document and is a list of courses for a
given program. My goal is to test character 8 of each line and if it
is a - (dash) then it represents a course name which I will usr to
point to a course description.
Any help?
