I'm working through the examples in the Water book and get an error that says "ends_with" not found. I updated the examples according to the corrections...

On page 76 of the WATER book, the example reads: <set fixed_column_data= <string> Mike Plusch Wellesley MA Christopher Fry Lexington MA </string> /> ...
I was able to get a workable example using the following code. The variable 'counter' is defined in the scope of the <do repeat=nn /> loop in the example...
... That worked. Thanks so much, Merrick. Since I'm still trying to understand all of this, can I clarify one piece? <do repeat=rest.<length /> > Is that a...
