Concatination of text to make URL link text

[ArthurMitchell42]

Hi,
One idea I had was to create a URL link using string concatenation to open an SFTP session at the current path and machine, and then place that around the "runner@host" segment. In order to do this I think the following would be needed?

{{ url {{.UserName}}@{{.HostName}} "sftp://"+.UserName+"@"+.HostName+"/".Location }}

but I can't seem to see any way of concatenating strings to make this work?

Have a look at the join function in sprig.

Hi Jan,
I figured it out and got this working:

"template": "{{ if not .Writable }} \uf456{{ end }} {{if .Segments.Session.SSHSession}}{{ $sftp := list "sftp://" .UserName "@" .HostName .Segments.Path.Location | join ""}}{{ url .Path $sftp }}{{else}}{{ path .Path .Location }}{{end}} ",

One conversion I can't get working is string length. When I use
{{$l:=len .HostName}}
Then test it with
{{if gt $l 8}}

It complains that $l is a sting, not integer. I tried go string to int conversion functions but they don't seem to work on the template line. Do you have any advice please?

Thanks, Arthur

This works for me: {{ $l:=len .HostName }}{{ if gt $l 5 }}yup {{ end }}
