[EVL] Printing collections [message #383062] Tue, 29 April 2008 14:19 Go to next message

I'm having trouble comparing two collections.

I create the collections by following a reference from the start entity (in
this case named parent) and then following a link named operations and then
collecting together all of the name attributes of the classes.

Is there anyway to print the collections in EVL so that I can see what
collections are being compared?

self.parent.operations->collect(s| s.name)



The relevant parts of the metamodel are:

class Entity {

attr String classname;

attr String instancename;

attr Boolean Child;

val Attribute[+] attribute;

val Operation[*] operations;

val EntityReference[+] reference;

ref Entity[0..1] parent;

}





class Operation{



attr String name;

val Type[*] arguments;

}

Hi Andrew,

You can print a Collection as a string using the
concat(delimiter:String) operation. E.g.

Sequence{1, 'Apple', 2}.concat(':').println() prints 1:Apple:2
