FieldGetFieldContent Function

Overview

The FieldGetFieldContent function parses forward to locate the corresponding closing field to the current field in the Field Object and collects all the content data into a string.

Syntax/Parameters

Syntax

string = FieldGetFieldContent ( handle hField );

Parameters

hField

A handle to a Field Object.

Return Value

A string containing the field content or an empty string on failure. Use the GetLastError function to retrieve a formatted error code. A field can have empty content.

Remarks

The maximum size that can be retrieved is 2MB. A field must be loaded into the Field Object. If the field is not defined to have content, the function will return an error. The companion function FieldFindClosingField will locate the closing field and return the token of the close field.

Not all fields will have content. For example, the Set field does not have content. If the loaded field is not a container type, an error will be returned.

Upon returning a string, the current start and end file positions for the returned content are set for the Field Object. Use the get position functions to retrieve the location.

The Field Object must have a data object associated to use this function.
