Hi, I'm trying to achieve the following:
- user indicates a file on his/her machine - the program opens the file, reads the data and acts on that So far, I can find examples of indicating the file on the user's machine, but this is always combined with saving to database (which I don't want); the clearest example I could find is http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5871730/need-a-minimal-django-file-upload-example Question 1: is it really necessary to store the data in my database? If not, I've not been able to find how to actually open and read the file. I've been trying out variations on reading, based on what I could find in the Tutorials and Managing files (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/topics/files/ ) but I don't seem to understand how to actually find the path and filename the user would have indicated. I seem to get completely lost in FileField and FieldFile and connected methods <sigh> Question 2: how do I find the indicated path and filename from the user?
