[gate-users] Jape Parse/Write

[<geo...@st...>]

This is one of my first postings to this ML. I'm georg and am currently 
working on my master thesis.

I try to figure out if there is a convenient way to parse jape(CPSL) 
grammars, modify them "in memory" and write the results again to a textfile. 
Currently I'm trying to do this:

[code]
URL japeFile = getClass().getResource("/url.jape");
ParseCpsl cpslParser = Factory.newJapeParser(japeFile, "ISO-8859-1");
SinglePhaseTransducer transducer = cpslParser.SinglePhaseTransducer();
PrioritisedRuleList ruleList = transducer.getRules();

... do something with the transducer/Rules/fsm ....

transducer.finish();

... write changes to textfile again ...???
[/code]

Anyhow, I wonder if this is a good thing to do. I have to somehow modify the 
jape rules.

Does anybody know if ...
-> there is a convenient way to rewrite the "RuleObjects" again to 
textfiles?
-> the grammar stays the same for future gate versions?

Thanks for any help,
Georg
