Is there a more efficient way to look up a list?

Hello. I hope that I explain this clearly enough.

Let's say I have the code 'BBB' stored in 'myCode' and the following list=
:

options=3D
[code:AAA,description:A1,text:A2,
 code:BBB,description:B1,text:B2,
 code:CCC,description:C1,text:C2,
 code:DDD,description:D1,text:D2]

I need to display the description of the code value that I have. What I c=
urrently do is the following:

                <#list options as x>=20
                 <#if (x.code?trim=3D=3Dmycode)> =20
                    ${x.description?trim}
                 </#if>
                </#list>      =20

It seems to work. But is there a more efficient way to do this?

Thanks.                     =20
