texte = Hi,I want to be able to evaluate numbers (multiple) that are stored in a variable. Let me explain: I have a variable called download_[index] that stores user input (a download_id of a program that the user has selected to download). The user can select multiple items to download so there are several different numbers that are stored in this index variable. And, oh yeah, the numbers are separated by and &. Here is the snippet of code that I use to index items selected by the user.[text multi=T][loop start=1&end=[search db=/db/download.db&nedownload_iddata=[blank]][numfound][/search]] download_[index]=&[/loop][/text]What I want to be able to do a bunch of tricks with these numbers, such as: If there is more than one number in the download_[index] where the first three characters are equal to 101 than send out a general (e-mail response). Or, if there is only one with a certain prefix, do something else. Here is what I have currently...I am trying to write a loop that can go in and do some of the things that I described above, I really want to know how I can say if more than one value has a certain prefix, do task 1, and just evaluate the remaining numbers in the found set. [loop start=1&end=[search db=/db/download.db&nedownload_iddata=[blank]][numfound][/search]] [hideif =[interpret][download_[index]][/interpret]] [showif [getchars start=1&end=3][interpret][download_[index]][/interpret][/getchars]=101] [sendmail to=[lookup db=/db/session.db&value=[session_id]&lookinfield=session_id&returnfield= user_email]&from=sales@aecsoft.com&subject=Thank you for your download] [include file=/includes/messages/ftsgen.inc&raw=F] [/sendmail] [/showif] [/hideif] [/loop] Your help is very much appreciated.Sincerely, Matthew Levy AEC Software, Inc mlevy@aecsoft.com P.S.: Yes, it is Sunday and I am work.
