XF 2.2 Convert string to array in template

[Azzl]

How would I convert this string to an array within a template?

{{ $records.connectionString }} which equals "0:0:991:1000 0:1:235:1"

I'd like to convert the string above to an array (which is broken up by " " and ":", then loop through it and only output the third value 991 and 235 on their own lines.

EX:
991
235

Also note: Apologies if this is in the wrong section.

Haven't tested it but perhaps you can use the split filter on the variable?

As the title says, I need to create an array from a list within a template and I'm not sure how to do it, or if it's even possible. Here's what I have: in_array({$template}, {$xf.options.adsDisallowedTemplates}) I know the list of disallowed templates is working. I dumped it to myself in the...

If you're needing to do this inside the template, you could use something like this...

<xf:set var="$connectionArray" value="{{ $records.connectionString|split(' ') }}" />

<xf:foreach loop="$connectionArray" value="$connection">
    <xf:set var="$connectionParts" value="{{ $connection|split(':') }}" />
    <span class="connectionThird">{$connectionParts.2}</span>
</xf:foreach>

That said, I'd recommend setting all of this up in PHP and storing it as an array in a template var.

That's what I ended up doing, thank you very much for your feedback!
