Well, it is (kind of). ;) I ended up using regexp to do it: <!--#if expr="$map == /^\/boletines\/(\\d{4})\/(\\d+)/" --> <!--#set var="mapYear" value="$1" --> <!--#set var="mapNumber" value="$2" --> <!--#endif --> <!--#if expr="$REQUEST_URI == /^\/boletines\/(\\d{4})\/(\\d+)/" --> <!--#set var="year" value="$1" --> <!--#set var="number" value="$2" --> <!--#endif --> <ul> <!--#if expr="$year=$mapYear && $number=$mapNumber" --> ... salu2 -- Thorsten Scherler thorsten.at.apache.org Open Source Java consulting, training and solutions --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
