[FMPP] Is there a more efficient way to look up a list?

[Bruce P. <bpe...@ya...>]

Hello. I hope that I explain this clearly enough.

Let's say I have the code 'BBB' stored in 'myCode' and the following list:

options=
[code:AAA,description:A1,text:A2,
 code:BBB,description:B1,text:B2,
 code:CCC,description:C1,text:C2,
 code:DDD,description:D1,text:D2]

I need to display the description of the code value that I have. What I currently do is the following:

                <#list options as x> 
                 <#if (x.code?trim==mycode)>  
                    ${x.description?trim}
                 </#if>
                </#list>       

It seems to work. But is there a more efficient way to do this?

Thanks.
