Well, there's a reason for PData ;-) str'ing a large file will use lots of memory... str'ing lots of large files in one transaction will topple your machine!

[Zope] Reading lines from a Zope File object
What function is used to read lines from a Zope File object using Python? Is there any example of this anywhere? Doing a search for 'python read zope object' is just too generic to find any python code to do this. -- John ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

Doing a search for 'python read zope object' is just too generic to find any python code to do this. You can get the main contents of a File with the 'data' attribute. It returns a string. You can ask a string 'splitlines' among other methods: http://python.org/doc/lib/string-methods.html You may also be interested in 'split'. --jcc -- Building Websites with Plone http://plonebook.packtpub.com/ Enfold Systems, LLC http://www.enfoldsystems.com ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

I think it actually returns an object (for large file support), if you want the data as a string you need to string it. So for small files: datastr = str(context.fileObject.data) Should work.
