Not sure how cache id groups works

i have cache ids like this
12-1, 12-2, 12-3

now i want to delete all cache which starts with 12

so i did like this

$my_cache_id ="12-1|";
$smarty->display("abc.tpl", $my_cache_id);

and while deleting cache
$smarty->clear_cache(null,"12|");

this doesnt delete.., am i doing correct?

here 12 is my category id, and 1 is page number

Nope. AFAIK, it is better to use cascaded cache id's like:

12|1, 12|2, 12|3

for that behaviour. EG:

$my_cache_id ="12|1|";
$smarty->display("abc.tpl", $my_cache_id);

...

$smarty->clear_cache(null,"12|");

actually fixed now

i modified like this
$my_cache_id = "12|1";
$smarty->display("abc.tpl", $my_cache_id);

to clear cache
$smarty->clear_cache("null", "12");

thx boots, i didnt see your reply,

i have a question though..

why do we need a trailing "|" ?

[boots]

hmm, I don't think it is needed. I cut-pasted your example

I am doing exactly this with no luck. Are there any common problems associated with clearing cache?
