Preserve Region with default content

[smj]

Hi all,

is there a way to define a default content within a preserve region ?
Something like this:

Template:

<% output.preserveBegin \"IDS\" %>
int ID_AAA = TODO_ENTER_ID_HIER;
int ID_BBB = TODO_ENTER_ID_HIER;
<% output.preserveEnd \"IDS\" %>

Result file:

/*::PRESERVE_BEGIN IDS ::*/
int ID_AAA = TODO_ENTER_ID_HIER;
int ID_BBB = TODO_ENTER_ID_HIER;
/*::PRESERVE_BEGIN END ::*/

thx in advance,
juri

Sorry, Mike.
I think, you misunderstood Juri's question.

The question was:
Is there a way to define a default content within a preserve region in TEMPLATE?

All generated files would have the default text within PRESERVE_BEGIN/PRESERVE_END block when the files will be generated
at the first time.

After this user can manually change the content of block only in some files.


I didn't find the answer in the referred post http://www.mygenerationsoftware.com/php ... .php?t=546

There is a way to do it.

Code: Select all

// getPreserveBlock returns the preserved data including the tags
var data = output.getPreserveBlock(key);

//You could use string functions here to add your default data if all you have is the start and end tags

output.write(data);

//-----------------------------------------------------

// getPreservedData returns the preserved data only
var data = output.getPreservedData(key);
%>
/*::PRESERVE_BEGIN IDS ::*/<%= data %>/*::PRESERVE_BEGIN IDS ::*/
<%


Play around with those functions and you'll probably find the solution you need

My solution to this problem is below:

output.setPreserveSource(outputFullFileName, \"//::\", \":://\");

<%
try
{
output.getPreservedData(\"inheritance\");
output.preserve(\"inheritance\");
}
catch(NullReferenceException)
{
string preservedBlock = output.getPreserveBlock(\"inheritance\");
string newBlock = preservedBlock.Replace(\"////\",
\"// \" + Environment.NewLine
+ \": BaseTypeLibrary \" + Environment.NewLine + \"//\");
output.write(newBlock);
}

%>
