Hi,

the example grammar looks like

grammar org.xtext.example.mydsl.MyDsl with org.eclipse.xtext.common.Terminals

generate myDsl "http://www.xtext.org/example/mydsl/MyDsl"

Model:
	greetings+=Greeting*;
	
Greeting:
	'Hello' name=ID ('from' from=[Greeting])? '!';

and lets say dsl looks like

Hello john from smith !
Hello moli from alex !
Hello alex from ilian !
Hello smith from john !
Hello ilian !

using
https://christiandietrich.wordpress.com/2011/10/15/xtext-calling-the-generator-from-a-context-menu/
i have created the txt files.

but the problem is I want to generate just one txt file containing the whole dsl code.
I think I have to alter MyDslGenerator.xtend but I am not sure in which direction should i go.
please help thanks

Have a look at the generator created by the new project wizards.
Is basically moving the for loop to the rich string

'''
«FOR e : collection»
do sth with «e»
«ENDFOR»
'''
