Hi Mike,
First, a quick side comment. Velocity.evaluate() does work fine. But
if you are calling Velocity repeatedly, consider using a resource loader
like FileResourceLoader or ClasspathResourceLoader. The caching
mechanism in the resource loader speeds up things tremendously.
Velocity is more aimed at generating the text rather than parsing it.
It doesn't contain much in the way of identifying content. It's
possible you might load the file in a resource loader, take the returned
Template object, and break it down into to the constituent parsed
nodes. But since this is essentially an internal structure, the
specific node types it might change in future versions.

Hi,
I'm a Velocity newbie, and am evaluating to see if it can address our
relatively simple requirements.
I need to use String based templates. After a bit if digging around I
found the following function:
Velocity.evaluate( context, writer, "", templateString );
This works pretty well for our purposes.
However I also need to get a list of candidate keys from the template
String.
So if my template contains: "$a $b" I need to extract ["a","b"].
Thanks.
Mike
