I don't think there is. The OP's posts have been written in excellent 
English.

I think we've been well and truly trolled, by somebody who even uses the 
name of a troll as his user name.

Thanks to Alan Spence for linking to the "Flame Warriors" web site. I 
can't believe that it took so long for anyone to realise that we were 
being trolled.

I hate to admit it, but I kind of have to admire somebody who can play 
dumb so well for so long for the lulz. Well played Ferrous Cranus, well 
played. Now please go and play your silly games elsewhere.

I don't think there is. The OP's posts have been written in excellent 
English.

I think we've been well and truly trolled, by somebody who even uses the 
name of a troll as his user name.

Thanks to Alan Spence for linking to the "Flame Warriors" web site. I 
can't believe that it took so long for anyone to realise that we were 
being trolled.

I hate to admit it, but I kind of have to admire somebody who can play 
dumb so well for so long for the lulz. Well played Ferrous Cranus, well 
played. Now please go and play your silly games elsewhere.

	So you want to generate a number that is used to look up another
file?

	How many files are you referring to here? Do you mean "indicator to
the actual html file" is "indicator to the COUNTER". Otherwise it is
just an indicator to the same path you started with.

	How is this "indicator" to be used? Is it PART OF "the actual html
file"? Is it a key in a database used to retrieve "the actual html
file"?

	Pseudo-code:

	con = DB.connection()
	cur = con.cursor()

	cur.execute("select ID from PATHLINK where PATH = %s", thePath)
	data = cur.fetchone()	#there should only be ONE
	if not data:	#thePath doesn't exist, must be new file
		cur.execute("insert into PATHLINK (PATH) values (%s)", thePath)
		id = cur.lastrowid
	else:
		id = data[0]

	con.commit()

I cannot.
I don't even know yet if hashing needs to be used for what i need.

The only thing i know is that:

a) i only need to get a number out of string(being an absolute path)
b) That number needs to be unique, because "that" number is an indicator to the actual html file.

Would you help me write this in python?

Why the hell 

pin = int ( '/home/nikos/public_html/index.html' )

fails? because it has slashes in it?

def function_that_returns_a_number_out_of_a_string(string, cache=[]):
	return cache.index(string) if string in cache else
(cache.append(string) or len(cache)-1)

That will work perfectly, as long as you don't care how long the
numbers end up, and as long as you have a single Python script doing
the work, and as long as you make sure you save and load that cache
any time you shut down the script, and so on.

It will also, and rightly, be decried as a bad idea. But hey, you did
specify that it be one line of code. For your real job, USE A DATABASE
COLUMN.

Since you insist:

>>> def function_that_returns_a_number_out_of_a_string(absolute_path_of_a_html_file):
...     return int(absolute_path_of_a_html_file.encode("hex"), 16)
... 
>>> function_that_returns_a_number_out_of_a_string("/foo/bar/baz")
14669632128886499728813089146L

As a bonus here is how to turn the number back into a path:

>>> x = 14669632128886499728813089146
>>> "{:x}".format(x).decode("hex")
'/foo/bar/baz'

;)

Thank you but the number needs to be a 4-digit integer only, if its to be stored in the database table correctly.

pin = int( htmlpage.encode("hex"), 16 )

I just tried whayt you gace me

This produces a number of: 140530319499494727...677522822126923116L

Visit http://superhost.gr to see that displayed error. I think it

Why did you use "hex" for? to encode the string to hexarithmetic? what for?

There are plenty of people (but not me) giving you database advice, but 
you don't want it.

Apparently you do have web access, so why aren't you looking up the 
functions that don't behave the way you think they should?

This page has the built-in functions:
     http://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html

To get quickly to a particular function, follow the link from the 
function name at the top of that page.

""""""
int(x=0)
int(x, base=10)
Convert a number or string x to an integer, or return 0 if no arguments 
are given. If x is a number, it can be a plain integer, a long integer, 
or a floating point number. If x is floating point, the conversion 
truncates towards zero. If the argument is outside the integer range, 
the function returns a long object instead.

If x is not a number or if base is given, then x must be a string or 
Unicode object representing an integer literal in radix base. 
Optionally, the literal can be preceded by + or - (with no space in 
between) and surrounded by whitespace. A base-n literal consists of the 
digits 0 to n-1, with a to z (or A to Z) having values 10 to 35. The 
default base is 10. The allowed values are 0 and 2-36. Base-2, -8, and 
-16 literals can be optionally prefixed with 0b/0B, 0o/0O/0, or 0x/0X, 
as with integer literals in code. Base 0 means to interpret the string 
exactly as an integer literal, so that the actual base is 2, 8, 10, or 16.

The integer type is described in Numeric Types — int, float, long, complex.
""""""""

Are there words in there which are unclear?  A filename is a string, but 
it doesn't represent an integer literal in any base, and especially not 
in base 10.

Okay, I think we need to throw the flag on the field at this point.  What you're asking for has gone into a realm where you clearly don't even appear to understand what you're asking for.

What is the reason for your integer being limited to only 4 digits?  Not even databases are limited in such a way.  So what are you doing that imposes that kind of a limit, and why?
