Django substr / substring in templates

Question

Could someone tell me, does the method like substr in PHP (http://pl2.php.net/manual/en/function.substr.php) exist in Django templates?

Answer 1

You can use the slice filter, though I don't think there's an equivalent to the $length argument.

Answer 2

you can use cut filter e.g. :

{{ value }} -> 'hello world'
{{ value|cut:'hello ' }} -> 'world'

Answer 3

In python, substrings are accessed as slices; there's a built-in slice filter in django.
