[Zope] String Replacement Function

2005-07-14 Thread Asad Habib
Is it possible to replace more than 1 type of character in a string
simultaneously? If so, what is the correct syntax for this? I am currently
using the following:

dtml-var _.string.replace(testString, _.chr(10), 'br /')

For this string, I want to replace both newlines and carriage returns
(_.chr(13)) with the break tag.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

IIRC. you can just use dtml-var testString newline_to_br
to get the same result.
I know of no occurence where you have either \n or \r
but in the same string (and not just \n or \n\r)
But if you want to replace each, either:

dtml-var expr=testString.replace('\r','\n') newline_to_br

or

dtml-var
expr=testString.replace('\n','br /').replace('\r','br /')

but beware the quoting.

Even better maybe you just use CSS for your layout:

p style=white-space:pre
dtml-var testString
/p

or with ZPT:

p style=white-space:pre tal:content=options/testString
Sampletext
/p
