[antlr-interest] Strategy for generating text pattern for a decrementing value

[Simon Woods]

Hi

I am translating a language into a new form, so I have a grammar, tree 
walker and several templates.

In the original language, there may be an occurance of a particular 
expression which contains a number, N. If this expression occurs, based 
on the value this number, I want to generate a text pattern something like

"mytextpattern-(N) OR mytextpattern-(N-1) OR mytextpattern-(N-2) OR 
mytextpattern-(N-3) ..." until N = 0

I am unsure of the way to approach this and am wondering if someone 
could give me some pointers. e.g. Should I be passing that number into a 
rule and then decrementing the value by passing it somehow into a method 
in the native language (C#) and then using that returned value.

Many thanks

Simon
