map.GetAt()

Syntax

any map.GetAt(string key)

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
key (required)	string	The key whose value is needed.

Returns

The value associated with the key parameter in the map object.

Remarks

The [] indexing operator is equivalent to the map.GetAt() method. The method throws an error at runtime if you pass it a key that is not defined on the map.

Sample

mapSample.rfs

var petCat = map.New();
...
trace "This is our map so far:", petCat;
trace "The cat's name is ", petCat.GetAt("name");
trace "The cat's name is STILL", petCat["name"];
/* Passing undefined keys throws an error
petCat.GetAt("sex");*/

"This is our map so far:", {age: 3, name: "Fjord", weight: 25, sex: "female"}
"The cat's name is ", "Fjord"
"The cat's name is STILL", "Fjord"
