Could you provide a bit more detail?

I mean, it seems to me that you want to use DocumentGenerator.DocumentModelGlossary for each term that your SQL search returns.

Is that not working?

regards,

Paulus

hi !
it's exactly what I'm trying to do.
i write a script to save the search result into a file. i just deliberate now if it's possible to call a define Template on the script. when yes! on which method in EA should i catch that?

OK paste the snippet below as a new EA script and run it, it will generate a file 'c:\xxx' where each each term in your glossary will be rendered using the RTF template 'gloss'.

The template 'gloss' could look e.g. like

model >
glossary >
{ModelGlossary.Term}: {ModelGlossary.Meaning}
< glossary
< model

Hope this helps!

regards,

Paulus

PS: Note that you can query the Terms collection iso using a SQL search.

Not sure: do you mean you want to use the template to generate an RTF containing information from all the models in a  project file?
