Re: [groovy-user] grep usage

So you have a list of items (java beans can be accessed the same way as maps)...

def items = [ [id:1,name:'aaa'] , [id:2,name:'bbb'], [id:3,name:'ccc' ] ]

items.grep{ it.id ==1 || it.id == 2 }.each{ println it.name }

prints:
aaa
bbb

'it' is the default name of the current element in the closure's
iteration.  If you want to override this you can do:

items.grep{ p ->  p.id == 1 || p.id ==2 }
