TYPO3 7.6: 'divide' a variable in a fluid template

Question

I have a variable {index.originalObject.title} that contains two informations:

1) event name 2) Location

The two parts are always separated by " - "

Example: Großes Sommerfest - München

Is there a possibility in a fluid template to select the 'event name' first and than the 'location'? I want to put the two parts in different columns in a table.

Answer 1

have you tried using the Explode Viewhelper? I never used it before, but according to the doc entry it should do want you need.

As a sidenote or question. Is there a specific reason why you don't separate the attributes in the database?

Happy Coding!
