assuming you have models/db.py from the first example
contoller/default.py:
from gluon.sqlhtml import form_factory
def function():
form = form_factory(Field("field12", requires = IS_NOT_EMPTY()))
if form.accepts(request.vars, session):
word_list = form.vars.field12.split()
if len(word_list)>2:
db.table1[0] = dict(field1 = word_list[0], field2 = "
".join(word_list[1:]))
response.flash = "success"
else: response.flash = "not enough words"
return dict(form = form)
might have some typos in there but I guess you get the idea
