Subject: Template language similar to examples...

Hi,

I would like to process a text file which contains property-tokens which 
are replaced appropiately by the template processing library. 
Property-tokens can be single value, or can be collection of values.

The format I would like to use is something like this (the specific 
characters used to signal might be different):

#!This is a comment
#DECLARE(%myProperty)   #!Here I declare a property (variable) for
                        #!use within the template
#DECLARE(%myCollection),MULTI   #!This would be an array collection
#SET(%mySymbol,1) #!assign a value of 1
#ADD(%myCollection,'A') #!add something to the collection
#ADD(%myCollection,'B') #!add something to the collection
#ADD(%myCollection,'C') #!add something to the collection

#!The code that goes below goes straight into the output,
#!except that it takes into account how the #IF is evaluated.
class myTestClass
def initialize
  #IF(%mySymbol = 1)
  @msg = 'Test1'
  #ELSE
  @msg = 'Test2'
  #ENDIF
    #INSERT(%myTemplateProcedure,%myCollection)
end
end

#GROUP(%myTemplateProcedure,%pCollection)
#!For this example, the code below generates:
#!  @msgA = 'A'
#!  @msgB = 'B'
#!  @msgC = 'C'
#!Not very useful, but serves as an example of the things I'm looking 
for.
   #FOR(%myCollection)
@msg%myCollection = '%myCollection'
   #ENDFOR


The output would be:

class myTestClass
def initialize
  @msg = 'Test1'
    @msgA = 'A'
    @msgB = 'B'
    @msgC = 'C'
end
end

Are any of you guys familiar with a library that will do something 
similar to the above?

Thanks,
Edgard
