Hi Christian,
Thank you for the suggestion. I was able to perform the check using _javascript_ in an AttributeCondition.
Best regards,
Vlad

Subject: Re: [henshin-dev] Regular _expression_ matching
Hi Vlad,

Hi,
Does Henshin currently support regular _expression_ matching?
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.
Best regards,
Vlad
