These are my events:

event warte,Verschlussstand,ID_Test, Reinigen,Kaffee,Latte,Error,Fill

Now When I do this: «FOR s:machine.events» «s.name» «ENDFOR» I receive this [warte, Verschlussstand, ID_Test, Reinigen, Kaffee, Latte, Error, Fill] which is normal

Now I wish to have just the first event(warte) of the list. How do I proceed?

I thought of somthing like this --> machine.events->0 to have only "warte" but it doesnt work.

Thanks for helping

are you sure events is not a list of lists? that would explain the [] in your output

in your case a event is a list of names. so you want the first name in the first event?

=> you can use

«statemachine.events.head.name.head»

maybe you should rename "name" to "names" in the grammar to make clear it is a list.

Im sorry my question was not clear. My aim is to grab the second element Only. I wish acces to every single element. For example

«machine.events.head.names.head» --> for the first element.
What about the second?
What about the third?

Sorry for asking so many questions. Im really new to xtext and I find it interesting. Thanks again for your help. Im greatful
