TOML_GetArrayStringBuffer

Gets a string array element using exact-length ANSI or UTF-8 buffers.

Preferred Clarion class method

GetArrayString PROCEDURE(STRING pKeyPath, LONG pIndex, STRING pDefault, *CSTRING pValue),LONG

Low-level export contract

Item Value
Export TOML_GetArrayStringBuffer
Return type LONG
Calling convention PASCAL, RAW, DLL(1)
Binary name NAME(‘TOML_GetArrayStringBuffer’)

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
handle LONG Positive document handle returned by a document-creation or load export.
pKeyPath LONG TOML dotted or indexed key path.
keyPathBytes LONG Exact key-path byte count.
index LONG Zero-based TOML array index.
pDefault LONG Default string or buffer used when the key is absent.
defaultBytes LONG Exact default-value byte count.
pOutBuf LONG Caller-provided output buffer, or zero for the first size-query call.
outBufBytes LONG Size of the output buffer in bytes.

FileName CSTRING(260)
RetCode  LONG

CODE
RetCode = Toml.GetArrayString('recent_files',0,'',FileName)
