Hi, I'm helping someone build a workflow and in it they have an arraytoken of strings which they wish to write to a file. Since none of the file writing actors can accept arrays (please correct me if i'm wrong), we had a look at the ArrayToSequence actor.
this works fine, except for the constraint that the size of the array has to be specified, and since the size of our array is unknown, we cannot set it. Is it possible to change the behaviour of the ArrayToSequence actor to dynamically set the rate of token output based on the input to the actor? Modifying the fire method to set the arrayLength variable to the length of the received token seemed to work, but if the array was made larger the second firing of the actor would fail. So, is it possible to build an actor with our desired functionality, or does the nature of SDF scheduling prevent this (and please excuse my lack of knowledge on sdf theory :)) I suggested we could write a file writing actor to manage arraytokens, but she want's to do some processing of each string before writing the data, so converting it to a sequence is a more convenient solution.
