Do you mean
$foo = "#foreach($a in $b) ...... #end"
?
If so, why not just do it that way, rather than add a new directive?

Key: VELOCITY-509
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/
VELOCITY-509
Project: Velocity
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Engine
Affects Versions: 1.5 beta2
Reporter: Will Glass-Husain
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 1.6
On a separate issue (VELOCITY-504) we came up with the idea of a
new directive, #evaluate. Basically, it would act just like
Velocity.evaluate().
Users are always asking for this capability (internal evaluation).
Usually we tell them to "use a tool". Instead, we should just put
in a simple directive that would evaluate a VTL string using the
current context.
Incidentally, this should be the current local context, e.g. if
inside a macro or a foreach loop (or worse, both) it should use
that context. See VELOCITY-504 for why this is needed.
