"for" loop in velocity template

Question

I already posted a similar question a week ago on How to use 'for' loop in velocity template?.

So...basically I can't use 'for' loop in a velocity template.

Let's say I have a variable that holds integer 4. I want to display something four times using that variable. How do I do it in a velocity template?

Answer 1

Try to do it like this:

#set($start = 0)
#set($end = 4)
#set($range = [$start..$end])
#foreach($i in $range)
   doSomething
#end

The code has not been tested, but it should work like this.
