Examples

Below are examples of the use of the LIST functions:

Adding to LIST

This example shows how to add elements to your LIST.xxx :

[FUNCTION f_add_to_mylist]
SERV.LIST.MyList.ADD MyElement1
SERV.LIST.MyList.ADD MyElement2
SERV.LIST.MyList.ADD MyElement3
SERV.LIST.MyList.ADD MyElement4

...

SERV.LIST.MyList.SET MyElement1,MyElement2,MyElement3,MyElement4 - will have the same effect as the f_add_to_mylist function above

Referencing the LIST

To reference your LIST.xxx :

[FUNCTION f_show_mylist]
serv.log <serv.list.MyList>

displays; "MyElement1","MyElement2","MyElement3","MyElement4"

Referencing Single Elements

in the LIST above, in order to reference by index :

serv.list.MyList.0 - outputs "MyElement1"
serv.list.MyList.1 - outputs "MyElement2"
. . .

Sorting the LIST

This example shows how to sort your LIST.xxx :

SERV.LIST.MyList.SORT - ascending sort in case sensitive
SERV.LIST.MyList.SORT asc - ascending sort in case sensitive
SERV.LIST.MyList.SORT i - ascending sort in case insensitive
SERV.LIST.MyList.SORT iasc - ascending sort in case insensitive
SERV.LIST.MyList.SORT desc - descending sort in case sensitive
SERV.LIST.MyList.SORT idesc - descending sort in case insensitive
