if length of string is great than the number 40

[kayakbabe]

I am trying to use this conditional

<mvt:if expr="len(g.ShipFirstName) GT 40">

But it appears that len isn't valid. I get an error:
expression compilation failed: unable to find function.

I thought the mivascript string.so functions were available in the if statements.

Is there a way to do this conditional in storemorph?
In plain english I want to find out if ShipFirstName is longer than 40 characters.

I think you need the toolbelt assign or eval functions. You can string functions within their parameters but not in store morph.

Try:

<mvt:item name="ry_toolbelt" param="assign|g.shipfn|len(g.ShipFirstName)" />
<mvt:if expr="g.shipfn GT 40">You have a very long first name!</mvt:if>

<mvt:if expr="g.shipfn GT 40">You have a very long first name!</mvt:if>

Toolkit equivalent:

<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="vlength|name_length|g.ShipFirstName" /> 
<mvt:if expr="g.name_length GT 40">One person at a time please.</mvt:if>
