[rules-users] Is it possible to Iteriate over a list of string values ?

[FrankVhh]

Hi all,

The way I understand your question, you want to evaluate some string value
to a list of Strings, and insert an "alarm" in the form of a new object to
notify that these values are present.

This is possible. Insert a String into working memory, then call the
following rule: 

#Testing rule
rule "test"
	when
		$vals: String(this in ("help","support","assist"))
                not Fact(value == $vals )
	then
                insert ( new Fact ( $vals ) );
		System.out.println("This WORKS!");
end

The rule checks for a String in working memory, and evaluates its contents (
this in ( list ) ) . If a Fact with the corresponding value hasn"t been
inserted yet, it will be inserted at runtime.

Regards,
Frank
