Hi,

I have an EGL template which generates a list of transformation rules.
So, I would like to send a sequence of elements as a parameter to apply in the generated rules in the template (in the target .egx file).

For example:
My .egl file is as follows:
[% var s = Sequence {"first", "second", "third"};

var i: Integer = 0;
while (i < 2) { %]
rule generate[%= i %] 
		transform s : SourceModel!Type {
		
		parameters {
    		var params : new Map;
    		params.put("s", [%= s %]);
    		
    		return params;
		}
		
		template : "template.egl"

		target : "target.txt"
}

[%
	i = i + 1;
}
%]


and the generated .egx file is as follows:
rule generate0 
		transform s : SourceModel!Type {
		
		parameters {
    		var params : new Map;
    		params.put("s", [first, second, third]); // erroneous
    		
    		return params;
		}
		
		template : "template.egl"

		target : "target.txt"
}

rule generate1 
		transform s : SourceModel!Type {
		
		parameters {
    		var params : new Map;
    		params.put("s", [first, second, third]); // erroneous
    		
    		return params;
		}
		
		template : "template.egl"

		target : "target.txt"
}


Is there any way to resolve this issue?

Best regards,
Alireza

You could pass a comma-separated list of values and then use the split method in String:

var list = stringParam.split(",").asSequence();

Hi Antonio,

Thanks a lot for your solution. But, how to apply this solution to a Sequence(Sequence) parameter?

Best regards,
Alireza

A nested sequence will be trickier, of course. If you have a bounded number of nesting levels (say, sequence of sequence of integers) you could use different separators, say "," for first level and ";" for second level. Maybe something like:

var nested = stringParam.split(",").asSequence().collect(e|e.split(";").asSequence()).asSequence();


That splits by ",", and then splits again by ";".
