[Zope] SV: [Zope] Newbie: String work
Hello Andy the syntax should be let string = "fred~~bloggs~aardvark" _.string.split(string,'~~')[-1] i.e. Should work. In python, it's the same thing. - Original Message - From: Andy Gates <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, June 27, 2000 12:39 PM Subject: [Zope] Newbie: String work > Simple stuff from the simple people today: string manipulation. > > I have a string variable which has various chunks delimited by double > tildes ~~.

I'm stuck on the syntax. Help! Maybe is a little strange , but should work (I hope:) Or maybe is better to use split, is more readable PM ___ 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 )

I'm stuck on the syntax. Help! what about (in convoluted DTML very lightly tested): )"> If you want the part after the ~~, you'll have to add +2 to the string index, like instr[ix+2:]. Making this fit for the 'fred' case is left as an exercise for the reader ;-=) hth 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] Newbie: String work
Simple stuff from the simple people today: string manipulation. I have a string variable which has various chunks delimited by double tildes ~~. In order to do what I need to do, I need to extract the section of the string after the last double-tilde, so that "fred~~bloggs" returns "bloggs" "fred" returns "fred" "fred~~bloggs~aardvark" returns "aardvark" I can see that rfind is the thing I need to use, but as usual (gah! newbie!) I'm stuck on the syntax.
