Hello. How can I get data in a range?

```auto
{{ range $k, $v := .Scratch.Get "data" }}
{{ $data := .Site.Data.modules.my_module.line_{$v} }}
{{ end }}

```

I tried that

```
                    {{ $test:= delimit (slice ".Site.Data.modules.my_module.line_" .item_id) "" }}
                    {{ $data := $test }}
                    {{ $data }}
```

You can try to use something like (not tested)

```auto
(printf ".Site.Data.modules.my_module.line_%s" $v)

```
