retrieving request.get variables in django/python

Question

i have certain variables in my request.GET which are like product-21cad54c-fafe-11dd-9f2b-001b639ca120, product-11cvcfd1-fafe-11dd-9f2b-001b639ca120, (the id is part of the variable name)

I want to store the id's of all these product variables, how can i retrieve these ids seperately?

if this is part of the url - use (r'^product-(?P<id>.+)', 'my_view'), then in views: def my_view(request, id): — Jerzyk

In your view, you can treat request.GET a bit like a dict. You can use:

request.GET.keys()

In the case of a url with the form: http://foo/?bar=baz&bing=boom, you would get ['bar','bing'].

Is this what you are trying to do?

[After comment]

In that case, you should be able to:

for key in request.GET.keys():
    if key.startswith('product-'):
        the_id = key.split('-',0)[1]
        # Do some processing with the_id now…

The name of my keys are product-21cad54c-fafe-11dd-9f2b-001b639ca120, product-11cvcfd1-fafe-11dd-9f2b-001b639ca120, The product part is fixed while the id after the - changes. when i retrieving this request i want to be able to segregate the id part of these product variables and store them in a database.
