GetParameter Function

Overview

The GetParameter function returns the value portion of a “property name: value” pair referenced by the supplied property name in a list of parameters.

Syntax/Parameters

Syntax

string = GetParameter ( string data, string name, [string delimiter] );

Parameters

data

A string containing a series of property-value pairs. By default they are delimited as:

property-name: value; property-name: value; property-name: value; ...

The pair delimiter can be changed but is “;” by default.

name

A string containing the exact property name to locate, less the delimiting colon “:”. That name is case-sensitive.

delimiter

An optional string containing the delimiter by which to search through the property-value pairs. The default value is “;”,

Return Value

Returns a string containing the value corresponding to the matching of the property name or an empty string on failure. Use the GetLastError function to retrieve error information.

Remarks

This function can be used to pull a single value from a parameter string. The returned string can then be translated to other data types depending on its content.
