[Templates] question about variable within match

[Eric Goldhagen]

I am having a bit of a hard time figuring this one out.

[% matches = fullstory.match('(\w+ word \w+)') %]


This works fine. But, how do I get a variable such as $s_word or
$form.query in the middle of the pattern?

[% matches = fullstory.match('(\w+ $s_word \w+)') %]

and

[% matches = fullstory.match('(\w+ \"$s_word\" \w+)') %]


don't work....

I am rather new to this stuff, so any help or pointers would be appreciated.

[% matches = fullstory.match("(\\w+ $s_word \\w+)") %]

(I *think* -- I don't like those whitespaces in there... so you
might need to remove them.)

Randal,

thanks, but it still does not work for me.

I tried
[% matches = fullstory.match("(\\w+ $s_word \\w+)") %]

and

[% matches = fullstory.match("(\\w+$s_word\\w+)") %]

any other ideas?


And while I am here, I have one more template-toolkit question.

I am running a site using slashcode. I can't figure out how to set
EVAL_PERL so that I can use [% PERL %] in my templates. I tried to
follow the docs, but it seems that slash interfaces to TT oddly.

$ tpage
[%
fullstory = "kermit the frog";
s_word = "the";
matches = fullstory.match("(\\w+ $s_word \\w+)");
FOREACH m = matches;
"one match is <"; m; ">\n";
END;
%]
^D
one match is <kermit the frog>
$

Looks good to me. You have only one paren set, so you get
back only one match.

OK

Something must be wrong on my system.

If I do this via tpage I get the right result.

But if I put the code into a template and hit the page, I just get
one match is

and nothing else.

I will move the code over to another machine and try again.

Thanks for the help.

A quick re-install of TT and all is well.

THANKS for the help.
