texte = I'm playing with WebDNA 5's [function] context, and I'm trying to figure out how to extract a list of the parameters that are passed in to the function - like using [formvariables form=include] for [include] files...Has anyone figured out how to do this? Does SMSI have any suggestions?I've tried using all combinations of listvariables' and formvariables' parameters with no success.What I want to do is to have some optional parameters into a function... such as:[function name=FolderCount] [if ...parameter hierarchical is passed in and has a value of T...] [then]...count items in the passed-in folder path plus all sub folder...[/then] [else]...only count items in the passed-in folder itself, not any sub folders...[/else] [if] [return][thecount][/return] [/function]Then call it these ways:[text]count=[FolderCount path=/this/folder][/text] [text]count=[FolderCount path=/this/folder&hierarchical=T][/text] [text]count=[FolderCount path=/this/folder&hierarchical=F][/text] The best I've determined is I can test for:[if ([:local:hierarchical]=%5Bhierarchical%5D)] [then]...param hierarchical was not passed in...[/then] [/if]This works, and will suit my current purpose, but for future use I'd sure like to be able to do generate a list of passed-in parameters without necessarily knowing their names ahead of time, as I frequently do with formvariables and listvariables.- Brian ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
