Models: Sub String for a character field

[richard.freitag@…]

I was wondering if in a Model you can substring
For example

State = models.Charfield(maxlength=3)

Fileid = models.Charfield(maxlength=10)

Date = models.DateField

and the following definition

def save(self):

d = self.Date

state = self.State

self.Fileid = dateformat.format(d, "Y")+self.state(1,1) <------- This is where I would substring I assume.

super(case_file, self).save() #Calls the real Save function

This doesn't appear to work, would you have any suggestions?
