Is there a way to get multiple digits of a given number within a django template?
For example:
{{ some_num|get_digit:2 }}
will give you the second right most digit. For 1224531 it would be 3
Is there a way to get the last 3 digits or the first 5 digits? Like python's slicing?
something like:
{{ some_num|get_digits:2,5}}
There is a the "slice" template tag
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/builtins/#slice
It uses the same syntax as Python's list slicing.
Example:
{{ some_list|slice:":2" }}
in python this is equivalent to:
some_list[:2]
BTW your 2nd example would be "2:5"
not "2,5"
NB. Python slicing works on any 'sequence'. Strings and lists are sequences. Numbers are not!
