Aaron Weiss	Wednesday 24 March 2004 3:57:06 pm I'm just getting the hang of the EZ template language. I'm familiar with coding in Perl/PHP, etc. Basic question: I have created a hash like this: {let myhash=hash('key1','val1')} How can I change the value for key1? I've tried all kinds of variations like: $myhash[key1]="val2" But this doesn't work. I tried some of the array functions like merge but that didn't work either. Ideas? thanks! Aaron

In case you have to create a hash based on numeric keys within a loop, here is my code: {section loop=... var=result} {set list=$list\|merge( hash( '_'\|append($result.item.contentobject_id), 'some values...' ) ) } {/section} This is useful when doing computation !
