Using it that way means you're working with a string (the output of the block has been stored as a string in some_name). If you want to omit something from that string, you'll have to strip it out, perhaps using regular expressions... Or just split the original output into separate variables, some with the parts you always want and other(s) with the part(s) you want only sometimes and output them conditionally as needed. > From: Larry Leszczynski <lar...@emailplus.org> > To: templates@template-toolkit.org > Sent: Wednesday, May 8, 2013 4:49 PM > Subject: Re: [Templates] somevar = BLOCK and passing switches > > > Hi Summer - > > > [% some_name; token_to_omit =1 %] > > > > some_name does not respect that variable "token_to_omit" > > Did you try: > > [% PROCESS some_name token_to_omit=1 %] > > (No semicolon after "some_name".) > > http://www.template-toolkit.org/docs/manual/Directives.html#section_BLOCK > > > HTH, > Larry > > _______________________________________________ > templates mailing list > templates@template-toolkit.org > http://mail.template-toolkit.org/mailman/listinfo/templates -- C.
