List of system objects (System class)

The ListOfObjects method returns a Stringlist containing information about "system-wide objects". ListOfObjects is a shared method.

Syntax

%sl = %(System):ListOfObjects[( [string])]

Syntax terms

%slThe Stringlist variable that contains the data about the objects selected according to the nameW pattern.
%(System) The class name in parentheses denotes a shared method. ListOfObjects can also be invoked via a System object variable, which may be null.
string An optional identifying string which may include wildcard characters. Descriptions of the system-wide objects whose names match the string pattern(s) are returned to the %sl Stringlist.

This argument defaults to an asterisk (*), that is, all system-wide objects, and its eligible wildcard characters are shown below:

  • * Matches any group of 0 or more characters
  • ? Matches any single character
  • " An escape, which means the next character is treated literally, even if it is a double quotation mark ("), question mark (?), or asterisk (*)

Usage notes

  • All errors result in request cancellation.
  • The items placed on the target Stringlist are put there in no particular order.
  • ListOfObjects is available in Sirius Mods Version 6.7 and later.
