•Re: Juggling structures with Template Toolkit

Well, that's bordering on a little too much processing in TT code. But, you can brute force it:

[%  # untested and I may get it wrong... sorry
  newdata = [];
  FOR item = myopts;
    newdata.push({ 'value' => item });
  END;
  PROCESS another.tmpl options => newdata;
%]

Okay, that makes sense. Thank you. that's bordering on a little too much processing in TT code How would you go about doing that processing within the script then? I did try something along the lines of the following snippet and it failed horribly. Perhaps I'm just a little off? `$TMPL->process('something.tmpl', { myopts => [ map { {value => $_} } qw(one two three) ] } ); __END__ [% PROCESS "another.tmpl" options => myopts %]` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

That works perfectly for me, except that it looks like you should have assigned that array to "options" instead of "myopts" or maybe both.	[reply]

update: I will now admit that I am officially dumbed out for the day. The script method with the map works fine. I don't know what happened earlier. Perhaps I forgot to double up the curly braces around the map. Thanks to merlyn for showing a TT way of doing it anyhow :)	[reply]

I asked a similar question on the TT mailing list back in December of 2003. extremely responded "... maybe you should just fix it in Perl rather than trying get TT to be a full language with all the amenities." Indeed, TT is candy store and we are kids. :) jeffa L-LL-L--L-LL-L--L-LL-L-- -R--R-RR-R--R-RR-R--R-RR B--B--B--B--B--B--B--B-- H---H---H---H---H---H--- (the triplet paradiddle with high-hat)	[reply]
