Number of isindex fields
$Web_Num_IsIndex retrieves the number of isindex fields in a URL.
Since isindex fields are more commonly called "URL parameters,", you may want to use the synonym for this $function, $Web_Num_URL_Parm.
$Web_Num_IsIndex takes a single optional argument and returns a number.
Syntax
%count = $Web_Num_IsIndex( [fieldname] )
Syntax terms
| fieldname | Specifies to count only the isindex fields that match fieldname. If omitted, returns the count of all isindex fields. |
|---|
Usage notes
- An application written to handle isindex fields generically would need to determine the number of isindex fields in a URL before finding the names of the fields.
%I_COUNT = $Web_Num_IsIndex IF %I_COUNT EQ 7 THEN JUMP TO PROCESS_NETSCAPE ELSE JUMP TO PROCESS_OTHER_BROWSERS END IF
