get()
The get() method reads the contents of a region object and converts it into an array of strings
(because any region may contain several lines).
How the region is defined, depends on the type of source data; see "region" on page284 and
"Example" on page285.
get(in_Region)
in_Region
A region object. What type of object this is depends on the type of source data, however in
any case the region object can be created with a call to region.createRegion(); see
"Example" on page285.
Example
This script retrieves all text from the Email_Address field in a CSV or database file.
boundaries.get(region.createRegion("Email_Address"));
getVariable()
Method that retrieves the value currently stored in a variable.
Note
Boundary variables are carried over from one iteration of the Boundaries script to the next, while
native JavaScript variables are not.
getVariable(varName)
varName
String name of the variable from which the value is to be retrieved. If the variable does not
exist, the value null is returned. It is considered good practice (almost mandatory, even) to
always check whether a variable is defined before attempting to access its value.
set()
Sets a new DataMapper record boundary.
