[Zope] more info for manage_exportObject question

[Kevin Dangoor]

I think you're going to have to use something like the string.split
function. (Look in the _ namespace section of the DTML guide). I don't
believe there is a single function that you can call that will do what you
want.

Doing this in a PythonMethod (which is a lot easier on the brain), you would
probably do something like:

obj = self
parts = string.split(PathToItem, '.')
for part in parts[:-1]:
  obj = obj[part]
obj.manage_exportObject(id=parts[-1])

I'd rather not try to convert that to DTML :)
