How to enumerate all the aliases in a class?
|
I'd be surprised if this hasn't been answered before, but I couldn't find anything. So here goes...
For a given class, I would like to be able to list and loop through all the aliases (or variables, or triggers, etc). Ideally I would get both the alias name and the associated script text, but just the name would suffice.
Any pointers would be much appreciated.
Thanks. |

I don't know of a way to do this via zscript. But the lua interface provides an easy enough interface to do so.
| Code: |
for i = 1 to zs.numalias do
if zs.getalias(i).class == "class you want to search" do
script stuff you want to do
end -- end if
end -- end for loop |
for more information on the lua interface see :http://forums.zuggsoft.com/modules/mx_kb/kb.php?page=3&mode=doc&k=2920
And to get started you might want to check out Fang's lua tutorial: http://forums.zuggsoft.com/modules/mx_kb/kb.php?page=3&mode=doc&k=2862 |

Thanks Wrym, your reply got me on the right track. Just for the sake of anyone else who stumbles on this, here's the Lua script I wrote to be able to search my aliases...
Usage: afind <searchterm>
| Code: |
searchterm = zs.param(1)
foundcount = 0
aname = ""
acomment = ""
displaytext = ""
displaytable = {}
foundalias = ""
print("Searching for '" .. searchterm .. "'.....")
acount = zs.numalias
for i=1,acount do
A = zs.getalias(i)
if string.find(A.name,searchterm) ~= nil then
aname = A.name
acomment = A.comment
if (acomment == nil) then acomment = "" end
foundcount = foundcount + 1
displaytext = string.format("%20s : %s",aname,acomment)
table.insert(displaytable,displaytext)
end
end
table.sort(displaytable)
for foundalias in pairs(displaytable) do
print(displaytable[foundalias])
end
