Email Script Token Shows Token as Text

I'm sure this is a simple solution but, being as new to Velocity as I am (very), I have no idea how to resolve it.

 

I created my script (below) and previewed the email. It results in nothing. If I create a standalone display of one of the in-script tokens, it results in the token as text. For example, having it display "$eventCount" results in the literal text of "$eventCount".

 

Am I missing something?

 

#set($originalLength = $lead.Field-1.length()) #set($replacedLength = $lead.Field-1.replace(";","").length()) #set($eventCount = $originalLength - $replacedLength) #if($eventCount == 1) <p>You succesfully registered for a training class.

Let's step back. What business logic are you trying to implement here? And field-1 is not a valid dot-property name; Marketo will never generate such a name.

Ah, you're right. Not my smartest moment. I typed the field names with dashes and underscores as if I were within the email itself instead of as alphanumeric only. Thanks for the catch, Sanford!

 

Regarding the use case, it's to change a confirmation email's copy based on which events (1 or more) a recipient signs up for as opposed to create a permutation of confirmation emails based on all the combinations of event registrations.

Still not seeing the full story. Pull back a bit. What is exact format of the field you’re doing that weird replace/regex on? Surely there’s a better way.
