in thread Using filepath method to identify an .html page

      ( .htaccess gives my script the absolute path for that .html page)

How's that?

I've shown you a simple hash function to convert an arbitrary string into a four digit number. It's up to you to go from there...

    And i'am sure it will work great!

    Here is the .htaccess directives responsible to pass the actual .html page's absolute path to counter.py (please do not get mad at me, i'am trying to code your solution into python code, which is easier to me)
    RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?superhost\.gr$ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f RewriteRule ^/?(.+\.html) /cgi-bin/counter.py?htmlpage=%{REQUEST_FILEN +AME} [L,PT,QSA]
    But my friend, why bother creating a custom function?

    Wouldn't something like the following work as intended?
    pin = int( htmlpage.encode("hex"), 16 ) % 10000
          (please do not get mad at me, i'am trying to code your solution into python code, which is easier to me)

      Oh... I won't get mad at you. If you want to code this in Python, I don't do snakes. You're on your own. Why in the world would you ask about Python code in a Perl forum?

        Perl is great, its just too tough for me. Python is more clear.
        I need your help

        1. to see in regards of "specification" if this was indeed possible.
        2. just wanted 1-line of Perl code to see it working, and then write the same 1-line in Python.

        Wouldn't something like the following work as intended WITHOUT custom function?
        pin = int( htmlpage.encode("hex"), 16 ) % 10000
        Can you please explain the differences to what i have posted opposed to your coding:
        foreach my $ltr(@ltrs){ $hash = ( $hash + ord($ltr)) %10000;
        I want to understand this.
