Handling checkboxes in TPLs

Can anyone give me an example of how to do this?

If I have two checkboxes:
Print "Hello"
Print "World"

I notice that this is stored as "Print "Hello",Print "World"". What is the best way for me to do this?

if (Print "Hello") Hello
if (Print "World") World

iwperl tags, use split to get the individual choices.

[html]

my $data= iwpt_dcr_value('dcr.checkboxes');

my @List = split( /,/, $data);

{iw_value name='Data'/}

[/html]

I'd just stay in perl - and the answer could depend on what you really want to do - but this is one possible approach:[html]
my $data= iwpt_dcr_value('dcr.checkboxes');
while ($data =~ /(Hello|World)/g) {
iwpt_output("$1 ");
}
[/html]Note - I put a space after the matched word so that if both boxes are checked you'd get "Hello World" instead of "HelloWorld".
The above code makes no assumption about the values being exact matches (e.g.: Hello, HelloKitty, MyHello would all match) nor about the order in which they appear (e.g.: If World was matched first for some reason, it would be displayed first)
