My experience with this pattern processor has not been very good. There
is a new language for generating text files that is based on OCL and it
comes with a pattern processor that will create the output file. This
pattern processor was developed by Anantha for his master's thesis. I am
cc-ing him on the mail so that the two of you can get in touch.

If you still want to use the above mentioned pattern processor I can
send you a few example files I had developed some time ago.

Anantha,
Could you please provide more details on this to the mailing list and to
Chapurlat.

Thanks,
Adi
