Variable concatenation


Is there anyway to perform something like the following?

#parse("/navigations/DefaultLeft_"$LangPref)

I have tried concatenating the two strings outside of the
parse() but it didn't work either.. like this

#set ( $LangPref = "en" )
#set ( $LangFile = "/navigations/DefaultLeft_"${LangPref} )
#parse($LangFile)

Hi all,
I've never posted to this list, but I just happened to be working with this
same issue.
I believe the code you are looking for is:

#parse( "/navagations/DefaultLeft_${LangPref}" )

Using formal reference notation, a description of which can be found on
http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/user-guide.html

Everything has to be inside the double quotes:

#parse( "/navigations/DefaultLeft_$LangPref" )
