Tony Stark	Monday 21 April 2008 9:58:54 am Sounds like a noob question (and I am) but if I have the following: {def $mytext=$this_object.data_map.mydata.content.output.output_text\|strip_tags()} how can I check the length of $mytext and make decisions on it? i.e. to check if $mytext is greater than 0? thanks Tony

Sounds like a noob question (and I am) but if I have the following:

{def $mytext=$this_object.data_map.mydata.content.output.output_text|strip_tags()}

how can I check the length of $mytext and make decisions on it?

i.e. to check if $mytext is greater than 0?

thanks

Hi Tony,

you could use the count_chars-operator:

{if gt($mytext|count_chars,'0')}
your code..
{/if}

Or in a prefixed way :

{if $mytext|count()|gt(0)}
...
{/if}
