Rails - Aug 2006 - Check a boolean in the view

I know i probably shouldnt be doing this and maybe should move this to a 
helper or to the controller but how do i set a flag in the view.

So for the code below im checking if x=y and if so then render a partial 
and set a flag called check = true.

in the else then i want to output some text and then reset the boolean 
back to false.

Can this be done?  Whats the best way to this?


<% @contents.each do |content| %>
        <% if contentpos.pos == content.pos %>
            <%= render :partial => ''content'', :object
=> content %>
            <% check = true %>
       <% else %>
           <% if check == true %>
                <p>True</p>
                <% check = false %>
            <% end %>
        <% end %>
<% end %>

Fixed it:

    <% bcheck = false %>
    <% @contents.each do |content| %>
        <% if contentpos.pos == content.pos %>
            <%= render :partial => ''content'', :object
=> content %>
            <% bcheck = true %>
       <% else %>
           <% if bcheck == true %>
                <br/>
                <% bcheck = false %>
            <% end %>
        <% end %>
    <% end %>
