[stringtemplate-interest] File based templates and maps.

[Caleb Lyness]

Hi,

I have been trying to use a map for file based templates. So far no
luck. Is this actually
possible or have I missed the point. I have tried too many combination
to list them here, so
I just list the last thing I tried:

hash map defined in reason.st:
---
$[
  "1":"reason for 1",
  "2":"reason for 2",
  "D":"reason for D",
  default : "unknown reason"
]$
---

Now this would make some sense, no?
Now I would refer to $reason.(code)$ in another .st file.
But It does now work...

I did try this syntax (as found on the wiki)

test.st:
----
typeInitMap ::= [
   "int":"0",
    "long":"1",
    default:"null"
]
---
but made no progress. If used this syntax how would I refer to the map?
perhaps: $test.typeInitMap.(type)$ or $test().typeInitMap.int$


Perhaps there is another way to achieve the same thing that I have missed?
I very new to ST. Thanks for the help/advise.

Cheers
    Caleb
