Howdy, I'm using Template Toolkit 2.08 (very cool system) and I'd like to count the occurrences of a pattern in a string. In Perl, I can do this a number of ways:
my @matches = ($str =~ /($pattern)/g); or my $matches = ($str =~ tr/$pat/$pat/); I may have missed something in the docs, but I don't see a similar function in TT. The scalar vmethod match() doesn't appear to use the /g modifier. In TT, I *could* do this: ----- [% parts = str.split(pattern); %] [% IF parts %] Found [% parts.size %] patterns in [% str %] [% END %] ---- To create a whole array seems a little wasteful. What's the TT idiom to do this sort of thing? Thanks. -- ---------------- Joe Johnston -- http://taskboy.com Software Consultant: Web - Database - Perl _______________________________________________ templates mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.template-toolkit.org/mailman/listinfo/templates
