For regular expression operations, see: ref_builtins_string.html

Use the string length...

${pp.sourceFile[pp.sourceFile?length-6..pp.sourceFile?length-5]}

If it is needed often, then define a function for it:

<#function getLocalCode s>
  <#return s[s?length-6..s?length-5]>
</#function>

...

${getLocaleCode(pp.sourceFile)}

[FMPP] how to get a substring out of a variable or file name?

[Ralf H. <ral...@gm...>]

Daniel,

From a filename_en.jsp, I would like to extract the two language indicating
characters.
http://www.freemarker.org/docs/dgui_template_exp.html#dgui_template_exp_stri
ngop_sub doesn't really help if I probably have to count from the right or
do some regular expression pattern matching.

I thought
${pp.sourceFile[-6..-5]}
might be it, but I got
<<     [fmpp] Caused by: java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String
index out of range: -6>

Any thoughts, how I might best do this?

Have a nice WE! Ralf

P.S.: Typically, I don't subscribe to mailing lists for more than a day or
two because normally, the signal-to-noise ratio just is too low. Since most
of the activity here is just you and me anyway, I am o.k. to follow your
preference for now...

The manual has a "Tips and best practices" chapter. If you have tips
that are useful for emacs or cygwin users *in general*, then type them
and that will be put into the Manual. Since I do not use emacs, ispell
or cygwin (well, except if I run some UN*X->Win port as MySQL, but
that's behind the scenes) I can't make comments on these topics.

[Ralf H. <ral...@gm...>]

Daniel,

Fine, I am happy use the mailing list (for threads once they are "rooted" in
the tracker for said reason.)

What is the below all about:
Since I am not using eclipse or alike, but I am of the old generation who
still likes RMS's emacs and also having not only lived in the programming
world all the time, I have submerged to Redmond, WA's 9?.* % market
domination of using windows, the purpose of the below was

**************
to provide some efficiency hints how to work with fmpp to generate html
(based on emacs, ant, ispell, cygwin, ...).
**************

I am happy to explain if the questions are a little bit more specific.
