GETPROPERTIES

This function returns a list of the properties of a specified key from an xml variable. The function returns a string. It is similar to GETPROPERTIESA.

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.

Syntax

GETPROPERTIES("XML_properties","key","separator")

Example

=GETPROPERTIES(ReportVariables.rv_xmlvariable.text,"[Product]",",")

Note: In GETPROPERTIES, the .text attribute is optional. In GETPROPERTIESA, the .text attribute is required.

GETPROPERTIES is a list function. It can be used in server lists, relational lists, and in slices.
