EGL: Sending the generated text to an output file [message #1720069]

Hi,

I have a problem with the generation of an output file from the EGL generated text.
When I choose the console as the target of the text generation, everything is go well. But, I want to store the generated text in an output file. So, when I choose a file named foo.txt, for example, in the launch configuration, the following message is displayed and there is nothing in my specified file as the output target!

Output generated to /.../foo.txt
Content unchanged for ...:/.../foo.txt

Have you experienced such a situation?

And one more thing,
If I had a common text which must be copied to more than one output file from an EGL text generation, how can I configure and code this situation?
I mean, how to write a code similar to the following in EGL?

if (Case 1 is satisfied) {
		// generated text in Case 1
		// output the text to the file1.txt
	}
	
if (Case 2 is satisfied) {
		// generated text in Case 2
		// output the text to the file2.txt
	}
	
	.
	.
	.
if (Case m is satisfied) {
		// generated text in Case m
		// output the text to the file1.txt
	}
	
if (Case n is satisfied) {
		// generated text in Case n
		// output the text to the file2.txt
	}
.
.
.

Best regards,
Alireza

Hi Alireza,

Regarding your first question, could you please provide a minimal example [1] that we can use to reproduce this?

To conditionally redirect the output of EGL templates to different files I'd suggest using EGX [2].

Cheers,
Dimitris

Hi Dimitris,

Thanks a lot for your quick reply.
I have attached the minExample. Of course, I must mention that I have not this problem previously at all.

Kind regards,
Alireza
