[Acceleo] select over a Set(String) object [message #904500]

How may I execute a select over an set of String?
I mean setOfString->select(='test') is wrong, also setOfString->select(self='test')
what is the right syntax?

Hi

Have you tried defining an iterator variable and using it?

My aim is not to iterate over the set. I need to do something only if a string (say 'test') is contained in the set. If the set does not contain that string I need to do something else.
i.e.

[if setOfString->select(??='test')->notEmpty()]
generate something
[else]
generate something else
[/if]

How would you do that by means of an iterator?

setOfString->exists(s : String | s = 'test')
setOfString->includes('test')

Andrea,

Ed's answer is right, I'll just add that you can also use iterators in select and reject operations with the same syntax he has outlined for "exists" :

[setOfString->select(s : String | s = 'test')]

i.e :

variable.operation(iterator | body)

. This same syntax exists for all 'iteration' operation : select, reject, collect, exists, forAll, isUnique, one, any and sortedBy.

Though of course, "includes" is better if you only need to check whether you set contains a given value.
