If you were doing it in DTML, then you'd do this: <!--#var "_.string.split(thestring, '&')[0]"--> To get the first part, and: <!--#var "_.string.split(thestring, '&')[1]"--> To get the second part. Although, I suppose you could do: <!--#call "REQUEST.set(myVar, _.string.split(thestring, '&')"--> And then use: <!--#var "myVar[0]"--> and <!--#var "myVar[1]"--> but I haven't tried that yet. You'll have to pardon my use of the old syntax, but I haven't had time to move over to the new one yet.

Hi everyone,

can anyone tell me how to split strings at a specific character. I have got a variable that is made up of two parts seperated by a '&' and i need to split the string up. Has anyone got the code for this??

Thanks for your help,

Wom.
