findPos

Syntax

    list.findPos(property)
    findPos(list, property)

Description

List command; identifies the position of the property specified by `property` in the property list specified by `list`.

Using `findPos` with linear lists returns a bogus number if the value of `property` is a number and a script error if the value of `property` is a string.

The `findPos` command performs the same function as the `findPosNear` command, except that `findPos` is `VOID` when the specified property is not in the list.

Example

This statement identifies the position of the property c in the list Answers, which consists of [#a:10, #b:12, #c:15, #d:22]:

    Answers.findPos(#c)

The result is 3, because c is the third property in the list.
