Usage notes
- All errors in Item result in request cancellation.
- Unlike the Item method for collections, the Item method for stringlists is not settable. To set a new value for a stringlist item, use Replace.
- There are optimized methods available to retrieve just the first or just the last item in a Stringlist. See also:
Examples
The following loop uses the Item method to display the contents of a Stringlist:
for %i from 1 to %list:count print %list:item(%i) end for
This could be accomplished much more easily with:
%list:print
Under Sirius Mods Version 6.8 and later, the method name, Item, is not necessary on a Stringlist Item reference. For example, the previous program with Item references could be written as:
for %i from 1 to %list:count print %list(%i) end for
