[antlr-interest] Help: A simple string template question..

[sarim]

Thanks much for the reply.
  I actually had "\n" in the importdef() before as follows:
  $import;separator=";\n"$
   
  but that requires me to set:
  query.setAttribute("import","import java.util.*");
query.setAttribute("import","import java.io.*");

  I wanted to move the string "import" into the template definition so that I can only do:
  query.setAttribute("import","java.util.*");
  query.setAttribute("import","java.io.*");
   
  Something like:
  $prefix="import";import;separator=";\n"$
   
  Is there a  way to achieve this?
  Thanks.

This is doing a \n after the call. The call emits the improts. move 
the \n into the importdef template.

*********************** ORIGINAL QUESTION ****************************************
  Hi,
  I am new to StringTemplate. I have the following template:
  ************************
  group RuleTemplate;
fulldef(package,import,rulename) ::= <<$packagedef()$
$importdef(); separator="\n"$
$rulestart()$
>>
packagedef()::="package $package$"
importdef()::=<<
import $import$
>>
rulestart()::="rule $rulename$ "
  ********************
  Here is how I am calling it:
  String fileName="RuleTemplate.st";
  try
  {
  StringTemplateGroup group = new StringTemplateGroup(new BufferedReader( new FileReader(new File (fileName ))),DefaultTemplateLexer.class);
  StringTemplate query = group.getInstanceOf("fulldef");
  query.setAttribute("package","org.com");
  query.setAttribute("import","java.util.*");
  query.setAttribute("import","java.io.*");
  query.setAttribute("rulename","myfirstrule");
  System.out.println(query);
  ....
  *************************************
  There are no errors and I see the following output:
  ***********************************
  package org.com
  import java.util.*java.io.*
  rule myfirstrule 
  *****************************
  I want to get:
   
  package org.com
  import java.util.*
  import java.io.*
  rule myfirstrule 
   
  How should I change my template so that I can get the desired output? Why is the "separator" not taking effect?
  Thanks.
