title: split a string in velocity Template and access it by index in velocity
body: <p>I am trying to split a string in velocity using split() given below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#foreach ($element in $string.split(":"))
      #if($velocityCount &gt;1)
      #foreach ($var in $element.split(","))
      #if($velocityCount ==1)
      @Param("$var") String $var,
  #end
  #end
  #end
  #end
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to store the splitted string in an array and want to access it by index as we do in java.</p>
  
  <pre><code>String s[]=str.split(".");
  s[0];
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there anything similar to above java code in velocity?</p>
