Re: [henshin-dev] Regular expression matching

Hi,

 

Does Henshin currently support regular _expression_ matching?

No.

 

For instance, I can now match a Class with name=”Record” in a UML model. Is there some way in which I can match all classes whose name contains the substring “Record”?

You can match the name with a parameter and then add an AttributeCondition to the rule (using the tree editor). In the attribute condition text you can specify your check in _javascript_. In principle you should be able to call Java String methods, and even do regex matching. I have not tried it out yet though.

 

I am aware that the paper titled “Henshin: Advanced Concepts and Tools for In-Place EMF Model Transformations” from 2010 mentions that regular expressions are not supported, but I was hoping this has changed in the meantime.

 

I think this refers to path expressions.

Cheers,

Christian

 

Best regards,

Vlad
