print field in views row template
I can't comment yet, or I would to inquire further about your use case.

Instead, I'll just provide an answer in hopes it helps.

Do you absolutely need to use a template file? In Drupal 7 Views 3, there are options for each field to customize the html for the field label and value if desired. See attached view field style settings to see how this is configurable.



Optionally, you can set the html to none and rewrite the output to include your specific markup. See second attachment.



Hope that helps, Jason.
