Xtend, rich strings and SEPARATOR option [message #876315]

Hello,

In a previous post I have seen this code with rich strings

toString(Entity e) '''
«e.name»
«FOR member: e.members BEFORE "(" SEPARATOR "," AFTER ")"»
«member.toString»
«ENDFOR»
'''

The result will be the members separated by commas, in parentheses. If there
are no members, there won't be parentheses.

OK, but how can I do if I have a conditional inside the FOR?, as in the example:

toString(Entity e) '''
«e.name»
«FOR member: e.members BEFORE "(" SEPARATOR "," AFTER ")"»
«IF (a condition...)»«member.toString»«ENDIF»
«ENDFOR»
'''

Then, the result could be something like: m1, , , , m5, m6, m7, , , , , , m13,
How can I do if I want a result will be m1, m5, m6, m7, m3 ? Do I have to work it by hand?

Thanks in advance,

Aran

What about wrapping it into an extra extension using map and filter?

e.g.

toString(Entity e) '''
«e.name»
«FOR member: e.members.filter(m|a condition) BEFORE "(" SEPARATOR "," AFTER ")"»
«member.toString»
«ENDFOR»
'''
