Hi Andrew.
Keep in mind that all variables are Java objects upon which you can call
any public Java method that you want.
So you can call all the Java String methods on String variables:
#set ($data = "some string")
#if ($data.startsWith("k")) .... #else ... #end
#if ($data.length() <> 10) ... #else ... #end
#set ($prefix = $data.substring(0, 3))
...
Regards,
Claude

Hello Apache Developers Group
I am trying to use velocity to evaluate a data object’s value but only
a portion of it
1. the first character of a data point is a “k”
2. if the length of an data point is <> 10 characters
3. only evaluate or display the first 3 characters of a data point
Does anyone if Velocity can be used to do t his. I’ve looked at the
user guide and cannot figure it out?
