  Let's say I have 5 Craft fields named "item1" thru "item5."
  
  Instead of writing out each variable...
  
  ```
  {{ entry.item1 }}
  {{ entry.item2 }}
  {{ entry.item3 }}
  {{ entry.item4 }}
  {{ entry.item5 }}
  
  ```
  
  How can I create a loop to do this for me?
  
  I've tried this...
  
  ```
  {% for i is 1..5 %}
  
      {{ entry.item ~ loop.index }}
  
  {% endfor %}
  
  ```
  
  But it returns the error:
  
  > Craft\EntryModel and its behaviors do not have a method or closure named "item".

  I found the answer in the Twig documentation:
  <http://twig.sensiolabs.org/doc/templates.html#variables>
  
  > You can use a dot (.) to access attributes of a variable (methods or properties of a PHP object, or items of a PHP array), or the so-called "subscript" syntax ([]):
  
  ```
  {{ foo.bar }}
  {{ foo['bar'] }}
  
  ```
  
  When using the subscript syntax, you can concatenate the loop.index like so:
  
  ```
  {% for i is 1..5 %}
  
      {{ entry['item' ~ loop.index] }}
  
  {% endfor %}
  
  ```
  
  Or even simpler, use the `i` variable from the for loop.
  
  ```
  {% for i is 1..5 %}
  
      {{ entry['item' ~ i] }}
  
  {% endfor %}
  
  ```
