I have the following if statement that checks if a form is empty: if form.has_key("date") and form["date"].value != "": date=form['date'].value
else: print "ERROR: No date entered!" raise Exception I would also like to add another if statement checking if 'date' has any letters (a-z) in it, and if so, would like to say that "you have to enter a date with numbers". I am not sure how to alter my current if statement to do that check so any assistance would be appreciated. On the flip side, I also have a field called 'purchases' where the user must enter non-numerals, thus i would also like to know how to scan to see if their entry has numerals and print 'please do not use numbers' if they did. Thanks for your help. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
