Thanks again. -----Original Message----- From: templates-boun...@template-toolkit.org [mailto:templates-boun...@template-toolkit.org] On Behalf Of David Turland Sent: Friday, February 26, 2016 1:15 PM To: templates@template-toolkit.org Subject: Re: [Templates] Question with regard to "append" to a form with TT Hi I am guessing you are assembling a string from repeated calls to process one or more templates, cherry-picking sections from each? Maybe something like this: ( note that $page is passed in by reference ) #========================================= #!/usr/bin/perl use Template; my $template = <<'END'; [% IF set_first_part %] first_part_of_form [% ELSIF set_second_part %] second_part_of_form [% END %] END my $tt = Template->new(); my $page; $tt->process( \$template, { set_first_part => 1,}, \$page ) or print $tt->error, "\n"; $page .= "\n--- half way ---\n"; $tt->process( \$template, { set_second_part => 1,}, \$page ) or print $tt->error, "\n"; print $page; #========================================= yields: first_part_of_form --- half way --- second_part_of_form #========== If not, then maybe some more info would help..
