Hi;
I have the following code:
try:
trueVal = form.getlist(storeColNames[i])
colNames.append(storeColNames[i])
if len(trueVal) > 1:
trueVal = string.join(trueVal, ',')
Unless you're using a very old version of Python, you should be using
the string method:
trueVal = ','.join(trueVal)
values.append(trueVal)
elif len(trueVal) == 1:
print storeColNames[i], trueVal, '<br />'
trueVal = '%s' % trueVal[0]
values.append(trueVal)
if len(trueVal) > 0:
sql = '%s="%s"' % (storeColNames[i], trueVal)
sqlUpdate.append(sql)
except:
raise
This works fine except when storeColNames[i] returns no data. Now, if I
were dealing with getfirst instead of getlist, I could easily put in a
nonsense default data value such as '%$#' and check for that. But how
can I do that or something similar (and preferably more elegant) with
getlist, which takes only the one name parameter?
You just need to check whether len(trueVal) == 0. Simple.
