Hi Mark, AttributeTrimmer does not work with list attributes. It uses an attribute that it splits inside of TCL. So, the list is created in the TCL proc.
I wanted to access a list created from the WB. The function you suggested, FME_AttributeNames returns all the attributes attached to a feature. >From what I can tell, there is no way to loop through elements as we did in TCL. Interestingly, all the transformers that use lists call TCL instead of Tcl2, so I think this is a known thing? The way I found to get around it is to get the number of list elements before entering the Tcl2 proc and use that in the for loop. If anyone knows how to access the WB generated list array, I'd appreciate it.
