[Zope] string splitting in dtml

[Mike Kelland]

I have a date string (ie dd/mm/yy) which I'm drawing out of a database (ODBC connection to Access) with a Z SQL method and I need to use that data to set the initial condition of a set of 3 select items (ie day, month and year).  Is there a way to split this date (it'll come out looking like dd/mm/yy) to get the components of it so that I can do:   <select name="start_month"> <dtml-in "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12"> <dtml-if "some_split_of_date_string_to_get_month(start_date) == _['sequence-item']"> <option value="<dtml-var sequence-item>" selected><dtml-var sequence-item></option> <dtml-else> <option value="<dtml-var sequence-item>"><dtml-var sequence-item></option> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> </select>   ??     Thanks!   Mike Kelland [EMAIL PROTECTED]
