Good evening all!

I have a an editable of type text in a DBF.

Code: Select all

<cms:editable name='vals' type='text' />

In which I enter values as:

23945+475d

To output it I am doing something as:

Code: Select all

<cms:each vals sep='+'>
    <cms:show item /><br />
</cms:each>

Now I want to access the item individually. So I went ahead and dumped the values using:

Code: Select all

<cms:each vals sep='+'>
    <cms:dump />
</cms:each>

and got the output as:

each
k_total_items: 2
k_count: 0
k_first_item: 1
k_last_item: 0
key: 0
item: 23945

each
k_total_items: 2
k_count: 1
k_first_item: 0
k_last_item: 1
key: 1
item: 475d

My question is:
How can I access only the Item 23945 or 475d individually?
Is it possible using the key?
In short, is it possible to access value individually? If Yes, How?

I would do:

Code: Select all

<cms:set vals="23945+475d" />
<cms:each vals sep='+'>
    <cms:if k_first_item>
        <cms:set first_part=item scope='global' />
    </cms:if>
    <cms:if k_last_item>
        <cms:set second_part=item scope='global' />
    </cms:if>
</cms:each>

First Part: <cms:show first_part /><br>
Second Part: <cms:show second_part /><br>

My variant -

Code: Select all

<cms:set vals="23945+475d" />
<cms:set vals_arr = '[]' is_json='1' />
<cms:each vals sep='+'>
    <cms:set vals_arr. = item scope='parent'/>
</cms:each>

First Part: <cms:show vals_arr.0 /><br>
Second Part: <cms:show vals_arr.1 /><br>

@Blutbaden: I had done something like this. Thanks for the revert.
@trendoman: This I find as a more effective way to tackle the problem by using the key directly.

a more effective way to tackle the problem by using the key directly.

That was the question, wasn't it? Also helpful if string knowingly has more than 2 items..

A more generic approach would be a function (cms:func) which accepts a string, a separator and a key and returns needed part. Advancement lies in function's parameter key, which can be programmed to take either numerical value - 0,1, 2, etc., or take keywords - last, first.
Sample declaration and call could be like -

Code: Select all

<cms:func 'getStringPart' string='' separator='' key='' >..</cms:func>

<cms:call 'getStringPart' vals '+' 'last' />
<cms:call 'getStringPart' vals '+' '0' />
