MDA transformation - how set the value of a string

[Thomas_Arnbjerg]

Hi all,

How do you set the value of a string member from a MDA script when the quote is a reserved character?

The fragment below describes a constructor in C++ with relevant initialization (which will fail since quotes are illegal) where the member 'name' should be initialized with the model attribute 'className':

Operation
      {
            name=%qt%%className%%qt%
            Tag
            {
                  name="initializer"
                  value=%qt%name("%className%")%qt%
            }      }
      }

Found a temporary solution using macros - i.e. the MDA transformation uses the member as an argument to a macro. The macro then 'stringifies' the argument:

#define QUOTE(x) #x

Not the best solution and a more proper one is still wanted..
