Hi,

I know I am missing detailed understanding of EMF and XSD but I just want to use it quickly.

I elaborated the following code in my XPAND:

«DEFINE element FOR ElementType-»
«IF expression.size > 0-»
(«EXPAND element FOR expression.get(0).argList.element.get(0)-»
 «expression.get(0).operation.mixed.get(0).toString().split('text=').get(1)-»
 «EXPAND element FOR expression.get(0).argList.element.get(1)-»
)«ENDIF-»
«IF type == "string"-»
«mixed.get(0).toString().split('text=').get(1)-»
«ENDIF-»
«IF constant.size > 0-»
«IF constant.get(0).type == "string"-»"«ENDIF-»
«constant.get(0).mixed.get(0).toString().split('text=').get(1)-»
«IF constant.get(0).type == "string"-»"«ENDIF-»
«ENDIF-»
«ENDDEFINE»

It works but I have the strong feeling that there is a smarter way to handle the mixed types. Would you be so kind to give me a hint or even better show me how to phrase
«expression.get(0).operation.mixed.get(0).toString().split( 'text=').get(1)-»
correctly.

br,
Marco

Hi Marco,

how about
«expression.get(0).operation.mixed.text.get(0)-»
?

and, did you notice that you could also write
«EXPAND element FOREARCH expression.get(0).argList.element-»
instead of
«EXPAND element FOR expression.get(0).argList.element.get(0)-»
in case you want to process all items from a list.

cheers,
Moritz

Hi Moritz,

Thanks for the suggestion.

The auto-completion suggests text List[String] - XMLFeatureMap as option. But the workflow then produces an error:
EvaluationException : Couldn't find property 'text' for inner type EFeatureMapEntry'

I do not understand this.

br,
