Hi Todd,

Is there a way to combine the 2 positional  values .

 "{{ [2, 4, 5] | map('extract', myline.split(',')) }}" 
as 
 "{{ [2, 4 5] | map('extract', myline.split(',')) }}" 
  to print  like below
  - two
 -  four five

I tried to combine .. but missing a bit
 "{{ [2, combine [4 5] | map('extract', myline.split(',')) }}" or  printing 
"two" as  a item and  "{{ [4 5] | map('extract', myline.split(',')) 
|combine }}"

or a different filter instead of combine can help?
