Can two identical positive plates induce charge in a conductor?

[umciukas]

Is there any possible way that an electric field between two positivly charged plates (charge is the same on both of them) could induce a charge in a conductor that is put in this field?

First answer the question: what is the field in between those two plates (assuming infinite plates)?

Knowing the answer to that will automatically answer your question.

They are not infinite plates. But there distance from each other is comperably small to there own size. So what is your opinion? I understand that the field has to be zero between the plates but maybe there are some kind of other effects that would make it different...
