attribute where

Available for: Content Management Server

Task: Searches for fields with particular parameter values, e.g. fields whose type is string, or whose name contains a given sequence of characters. If more than one parameter/value pair is specified, a field must meet all search criteria for the field to become part of the search result.

Syntax:

attribute where {parameter value}

Function parameters: (If no parameter is specified, the command returns the names of all fields.)

• parameter specifies the name of the parameter whose value is to be searched for or specifies the number of hits. The following parameters can be used:

  • maxResults specifies that value is a number that limits the number of hits. If number is less than or equals zero, the number of hits is unlimited.
  • name specifies that the names of the fields are to be checked for occurrences of value.
  • type specifies that value is a single attribute type or a list of attribute types. A field's type must be equal to the single value or part of the list, respectively, to be included in the search result.

• value specifies the search term for the respective parameter.

Return value if successful: the names of the fields that match the search criteria (stringlist)

Necessary permissions: no restrictions
