For populating loops, I get the resultset from db, and assign it directly to the loop_var. This works wonderfully for most cases, except where there is a need to process each row before assigning it to the template. One particular case is where I am retrieving a resultset after a search query, and I need to highlight the text that was searched for.
Is there a way I can continue to use the 'single' assignment, and still achieve this objective? Thanks, Nishi Here is some code snippet to explain it more: my $data = &getDataFromDB; $template->param(myLoopVar => $data); #preferred way #BUT, if I need to bold the 'search text', I need to iterate through the loop my @loopData=(); foreach my $rec (@{$data}) { my %loopRow; $rec->{title} =~ s/(\b$searchText\b)/<b>$1<\/b>/ig; $loopRow{title} = $rec->{title}; push @loopData, \%loopRow; } $template->param(myLoopVar => [EMAIL PROTECTED]); ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
