thanks Niphlod and Luis. It was always unclear to me how, where, and if possible, to install packages. So that helps my long-term understanding a lot.
For the time being, can anyone please remind me how to extract the bad word without braces in controller below? def clean_bad_words(original_text): bad_words = open(os.path.join(request.folder,'static','bad_words.txt')).readlines() bad_word_is = None for line in bad_words: splitted = line.split() if splitted[0] in original_text: bad_word_is = splitted[0] return dict (bad_word_is = bad_word_is) def testing(): original_text = '****' new_words_is = clean_bad_words(original_text) return dict(new_words_is = new_words_is) VIEW: {{=new_words_is}} this below is diplayed instead of just the word (****): Would like it without the braces and quotes. {'bad_word_is': '****'} -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
