GETPROPERTY

Use GETPROPERTY to return values from an XML variable. Multiple values are set with the SETPROPERTY) function which stores them as XML.

See SETPROPERTY

You can use the asterisk (*) character at the beginning or end of a string as a wildcard. For example, to return particular keys or properties. Asterisks within a string do not act as wildcards. A wildcard search returns only the first matched key or property.

Note: We cannot guarantee the order in which keys or properties are matched.
