RE: [fme] Re: Counter (Interval of more than 1)

Thanks,   Here is another question.  Is there a way to count backwards and increment by -2 such that I get a serious of 10,8,6,4,2,0... etc   Regards,   Thomas From: fme@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of mark2atsafe Sent: Wednesday, July 26, 2006 11:48 AM To: fme@yahoogroups.com Subject: [fme] Re: Counter (Interval of more than 1) Nice one. Trust a developer to come up with that solution. But as an inveterate workbench hacker I can put your idea into a single transformer! The ExpressionEvaluator has the ability to use the @Count() function within the _expression_, so you could do it all from there w/o even using the Counter transformer! The _expression_ would be: ((@Count())*2)+1 Alternatively (a little more hacky) an AttributeCreator will do the same with the value set to: @Evaluate("((@Count())*2)+1") Ah - the power of FME functions in a workspace!
