what do you mean by saying 'dcr is empty'?

try to explain what are you trying to achieve and how.

In my data capture, I can add files to my form
In my template I iterate these files

]]> <li><a href="../.."> </a></li> [/HTML] And I'd like to know if there is files in my DCR... If not I don't want to iterate. Hope this helps... Again, apologize for this newbies question... Thanks again Olivier

Could you please attach your datacapture.cfg as to know what does your 'files' element implies to?

Secondly - If there are no elements within the container/replicant being processed then it should be a no-op and you shouldn't worry about the iteration. From a Perl perspective it's kind of like this:<pre>my @empty_list; foreach my $entry (@empty_list){ print "Hello World\n"; }</pre>If there's nothing in the array (@empty_list) then the string "Hello World\n" will not be printed - not even once. Now you could write the above code to look like this:<pre>my @empty_list; foreach my $entry (@empty_list){ if ($entry !~ /^\s*$/){ print "Hello World\n"; } }</pre>but that only makes sense if the array contains empty elements as opposed to being an empty list - i.e.:<pre>my @empty_list = ("Hello", "", "World");</pre> in which you don't want the empty string in the middle to cause an (extra) iteration to occur.

I need to check if my list of link is empty because I do :

-if list is not empty
--image number1
---iterate my list
-----first file
-----second file
-----...
---stop iterate
--image number2
-end if

For the moment, I iterate my list and nothing is printed if there is no link in my list...except my image number1 and image number2 !

thanks again for your help

Thus far your examples have been an if-test within an iteration - this is the first time you've indicated that you're looking for an if-test outside the iteration.

So - if I'm understanding you correctly - I think you'd need to do something like this:

<iw_if expr='(iwpt_dcr_list("dcr.files") > 0)'>
    <iw_then>
        <img src="..."/>
        <iw_iterate ...>
            ...
        </iw_iterate>
        <img src="..."/>
    </iw_then>
<iw_if>

Yes?

iwpt_dcr_list("dcr.files") always = 1 ... ??
--- probably because in my DTC I have at least 1 file input (even if I leave it blank)

So, I have to check if --iwpt_dcr_list("dcr.files") > 0-- and if the first link is not blank...

How can I do this ?

your answer will probably close the thread :-)

Try something like this then (not tested, but consider it a pre-thanksgiving-gift ;-):

<iw_if expr='(iwpt_dcr_list("dcr.files") > 0 && iwpt_dcr_value("dcr.files[0].file") ne q{})'>
    <iw_then>
      ...
    </iw_then>
<iw_if>
