Code Generation Templates, String to Lower Case

[Q-Man]

Hi,

I want to edit the Code generation template for ActionScript. The linked attribute declaration should use the class name of the linked attribute, but the first letter should be lower case.

How is it possible to edit a string in that way with the code template scripting language?

Thanx

I'm not sure if you can do this at the scripting level Q-Man. I have a different situation, but the need to manipulate such strings will become pressing.

However, you may be able to easily solve your problem without going through much pain.

Take a look at the Tools | Options | Source Code Engineering dialog. Right at the bottom you'll find several settings that control how EA translates attributes into properties. Experiment a bit and you can probably get the results you want.

Thank you, but there's no option for that. Or do you know a special trick?

Search for EXEC_ADD_IN - that allows a lot of tricky things.

hey, thanx, but i found an easy way with the scripting language:

Code: [Select]


$first=%LEFT(linkAttName, 1)%
$firstLower=%TO_LOWER($first)%
$rest=%MID(linkAttName, 1)%
$new=$firstLower+$rest


$new is the linkAttName with lower case first letter.

Thanks much Q-Man. You've saved me a bundle of trouble.
