URL getting truncated in Velocity

[Jo_Pitts1]

All,

I've got a weird issue in Velocity, where a URL is getting truncated.

I have this code

#set( $currentSeminarList = $lead.myClient_competition_data_s1 )

#if( ! $display.alt($currentSeminarList,"").isEmpty() )
  #set( $currentSeminarCodes = $currentSeminarList.split("[|]") )

  #foreach( $code in $currentSeminarCodes )
    #set( $currentRegistration = $code.split("[;]") )
    #set( $villageCode = $currentRegistration[0] )
    #set( $url = $currentRegistration[1] )
    village code is: ${villageCode}<br>
    URL is: ${url}<br>
  #end
#end

 the data in lead.myClient_competition_data_s1 is

J14;https://connectnz.zoom.us/w/85913813084?tk=-BY1TYFnFUcunjYFy6gBMa9i5GnHMSevGzK_NTVPlE0.DQMAAAAUANzAXBY2YU5HNGFRY1I3ZUNQcTlSWUhHWS1RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA&uuid=WN_6PS9NYWBQUanBUbx8gYh1A|J16;https://connectnz.zoom.us/w/82469765242?tk=UXvOFMI9LIxYokuUfX67zbWo7_QreL704EKdBe_GI6U.DQMAAAATM5TAehZNWXpkQmlkYlR4V2VPOVJqYXI4SHlRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA&uuid=WN_rywc1dQsQ6uGPpjwSblh7g|

This is the output:

village code is: J14
URL is: https://connectnz.zoom.us/w/85913813084?tk=-BY1TYFnFUcunjYFy6gBMa9i5GnHMSevGzK_NTVPlE0.DQMAAAAUANzAXBY2YU5HNGFRY1I3ZUNQcTlSWUhHWS1RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA&
village code is: J16
URL is: https://connectnz.zoom.us/w/82469765242?tk=UXvOFMI9LIxYokuUfX67zbWo7_QreL704EKdBe_GI6U.DQMAAAATM5TAehZNWXpkQmlkYlR4V2VPOVJqYXI4SHlRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA&

As you can see, the URL is getting truncated at the &.
What silly thing am I missing?

Cheers

Jo

Can’t repro this with your exact data and code.

Is there any difference between Preview and a real email here? How about HTML and Text parts?

Grrr.. got bitten by the 'Never trust velocity in preview or test send'!!!!!!

Did a real send, and it seems fine.  What a numpty I am 🙂
