  • {image-main}.width=600

etc

// ADVANCED SCRIPTING //

Added new commands to fetch / filter data.

  • fetchlocal ____
  • fetchglobal ____
  • fetchprivate _____

The fetch commands grab all data matching your query preparing it for filtering.

Use the filter commands to prepare data for filtering.

  • filterlocal ____
  • filterglobal ____
  • filterprivate ____

Once you have the filtered data you can then use the strip command to keep what you want, please note the aim is to finish up with a single piece of data. You will get a warning if you have no results OR too results are too broad.

  • keep ____

e.g.

  • fetchlocal box
  • filterlocal box
  • keep -islocked

This will return the key ie. '0|0|0|obj-box-islocked' and the value ie 'y'

You can then access this data with the following %special%.

  • %SYS[FILTERKEY] for the kept key
  • %SYS[FILTERVALUE] for the kept value
