Thanks for your help with this, I'm not sure I understand exactly what I was
doing wrong because I was getting the right value in val when I printed it
out, it just wasn't getting put onto the list properly. Also, if I use a
push (thanks Andy - didn't know you could do that) onto the list it does
work using exactly the same loop:
[%- FOREACH val = list_string.split(';') -%]
[%- mylist.push(val) -%]
[%# mylist.$counter = val -%]
[%#- counter = counter + 1 -%]
[% END -%]
Does this mean that I cannot use [% mylist.$counter = val -%] as a way of
populating a list?
- at least I don't think there is a problem with split now!
Thanks for the help
Colin

You aren't using split wrong, you are using "val" wrong. =) You are
suffering from the classic error of putting the same reference into an array
with each pass through your FOREACH loop.
I'd recommend you do:
[% mylist = list_string.split(';') -%]
[% FOREACH val = mylist %]
data[[% val %]] [[% loop.count %]]
[% END -%]
