Plain Text Length Conditional

Question

Wondering how to write a conditional that was dependent on the length of a plain text field within a matrix field. I have something like:

{% for block in entry.pricing %}
    <li>{% if block.destination|length > 25 %}TEST{% endif %}{{ block.smallCost }}</li>
{% endfor %}

Where I’m trying to add TEST if the length of the string of block.destination is more than 25.

That should work as far as I can tell. What happends if you try to output {{ block.destination | length }}? — André Elvan, Sep 05 '14 at 12:33
It outputs totally fine, giving the length of the string. It’s just the conditional I can’t figure out? — simonsweeney, Sep 05 '14 at 16:44

Turns out it needs the space in the conditional either side of the vertical bar so the code should’ve been:

<li>{% if block.destination | length > 25 %}<br />{% endif %} {{ block.smallCost }}</li>

Really weird... not sure why that would be the case. – Brad Bell Sep 05 '14 at 17:27
