Darren is correct (as usual). Just to explain a bit more in case it's not obvious what was happening: The argument to TT split() is a pattern. '|' is the OR operator, so splitting on the pattern '||' is like saying to split on "<empty> OR <empty> OR <empty>". Splitting on empty is a special case in Perl that splits a string into individual characters, like you were seeing: http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/split.html HTH, Larry _______________________________________________ templates mailing list templates@template-toolkit.org http://mail.template-toolkit.org/mailman/listinfo/templates
