Hi there, I'm trying to prepend a string to a field. While, this works:
>>> db(db.person.id>0).update(name = db.person.name + "x") This does not: >>> db(db.person.id>0).update(name = "x" + db.person.name) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <fragment> TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'Expression' objects I have found a work-around, but it is pretty ugly: >>> db(db.person.id>0).update(name = db.person.name[0:0] + "x" + db.person.name) Does anyone have a better solution?
