A 'number' variable is also available which starts at 1 and increases. -- Amos Documentation: http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation FAQ: http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/faq
Tristan Koen	Friday 25 July 2003 12:29:59 am Ah! Thanks. Thats exactly what I was looking for. In my initial attempts I was trying {section show=eq($news_cats.1,0)} ... {/section} which didn't work at all. I have to assume that the fetch('content',line,hash(....)) function doesn't return an array then? Any clarification you can give me on this point would be appreciated.

You could use one 'section' to loop trough the items and then another one to check for that specific first item.
{section loop=$new_cats}
<h3><a...></a></h3>
{section show=eq($:index,0)}
<div>...</div>
{/section}
{/section}

'index' is a variable generated by the section when it loops, it start at 0 and increases as each item is processed.
A 'number' variable is also available which starts at 1 and increases.
