groovy - is there any implicit variable to get access to item index in "each" method

Question

Is there any way to remove variable "i" in the following example and still get access to index of item that being printed ?

def i = 0;
"one two three".split().each  {
    println ("item [ ${i++} ] = ${it}");
}

=============== EDIT ================

I found that one possible solution is to use "eachWithIndex" method:

"one two three".split().eachWithIndex  {it, i
    println ("item [ ${i} ] = ${it}");
}

Please do let me know if there are other solutions.

Answer 1

you can use eachWithIndex()

"one two three four".split().eachWithIndex() { entry, index ->
      println "${index} : ${entry}" }

this will result in

0 : one
1 : two
2 : three
3 : four
