| Summary |
Boolean
Returns true if the shelf contains a key with the given name, and false otherwise. Replacing |
shelf test:
shelf-type? shelf-name (has | hasnt) key string-expression
attribute shelf test:
specified? attribute (has | hasnt) key string-expression
or
specified? data-attributes (has | hasnt) key string-expression
has key is a test that determines if a shelf contains a key with the given string-expression.
hasnt key returns the opposite results.
has key can also be applied to an attribute shelf in a similar fashion.
The has key test determines whether an element has an attribute declared for it. It can be used on both the data-attributes and attributes shelves.
For example, the following code shows how has key can be used to test for a declared attribute:
global stream id-name
...
output attributes key id-name
when attributes has key id-name and
attribute key id-name isnt implied
In this example, the has key test is used to determine whether the switch shelf "assoc-list" currently contains an item with the name referred to by "%x(curr-key)".
global switch assoc-list
global counter item-no
...
find "{" [any except "}"]+= curr-key "}"
do when assoc-list has key "%x(curr-key)"
set item-no to item of assoc-list ^ "%x(curr-key)"
else
; An index of 0 means that the key wasn't found.
set item-no to 0
done
