Syntax
GetMeta(Field Name [, Option Flags, Metadata Path])
Here is a breakdown of the syntax:
l
GetMeta(): Always surrounds metadata selections.
l
Field/Attribute Name: specifies the name of the field (or attribute, if the GetAttribute
option flag is set) to retrieve (see "Metadata" on page74).
l
Option Flag (optional): Sets the options for the selection (see table below).
l
Metadata Path (optional): Defines the precise path where the Metadata Field is located.
Note
Metadata Index/Count values are zero-based: the first element in any collection
has an index of 0 and the last element's index corresponds to the collection's length
minus 1.
Option flags
The flag value to enter should be the sum of all desired flags. So, a value of 11, which is 8+2+1,
means that behavior 8, 2 and 1 are applied.
A value of 0 means 'no flag'.
Name Value Behavior
GetAttribute 1 Search for the name argument in the attribute collection
instead of the default field collection. See: "Metadata" on
page74.
