FindOptionValue()

Summary

Finds the value of an option in an options array.

Syntax

option = FindOptionValue (array options, string option_name)

Argument Contents
options A list of options and their settings
option_name The name of the option being sought in the options list

Returns

An array that contains the values for the specified option.

Notes

  • If the named option does not appear in the list, FindOptionValue() returns null.

  • Comparison is always case insensitive and only up to the length of the option_name string.

Example

// Here's a typical option array...
opts = { {"Color", ColorRGB(0,0,0)},
{"Line Width", 4.5},
{"Names", "Fred", "Sam"}
}
// To locate a particular option:
opt = FindOptionValue(opts, "Line Width")
// opt is now equal to {4.5}
opt = FindOptionValue(opts, "Names")
// opt is now equal to {"Fred", "Sam"}
