after reading through Jean Francois Chamard's excellent technique for finding the last item in an array with Velocity (posted 22/07/2005), I've been trying to implement this for a array of HTML links.
however, I've been encountering problems using the length method which is used there: it's just failing silently (haven't got access to the velocity log for this at present, unfortunately). here is the code I am using: ## a load of links, with text + hrefs etc held in their own array #set ( $link1 = ["link 1","this is link one","http://link.one";] ) #set ( $link2 = ["link 2","this is link two","http://link.two";] ) #set ( $link3 = ["link 3","this is link three","http://link.three";] ) #set ( $link4 = ["link 4","this is link four","http://link.four";] ) #set ( $link5 = ["link 5","this is link five","http://link.five";] ) #set ( $link6 = ["link 6","this is link six","http://link.six";] ) ## stick alll those arrays into an array #set ( $linkMultiArray = [$link1,$link2,$link3,$link4,$link5,$link6] ) ## do loop to produce output #set( $len = $linkMultiArray.length ) #foreach($link in $linkMultiArray) #set( $velocityCount2 = $velocityCount + 1 ) #set( $len2 = $len - 1 ) $link.get(0)#if($len2 == $velocityCount) and#elseif($len > $velocityCount2), #end #end the desired result: link 1, link 2, link 3, link 4, link 5 and link 6 what I'm getting: link 1link 2link 3link 4link 5link 6 Any comments/suggestions/help/answers gratefully received! thanks, Chris ******************************************************************************** DISCLAIMER: This e-mail is confidential and should not be used by anyone who is not the original intended recipient.
