GetMIFInteger - Retrieve the Value of an Integer Attribute

Valid on UNIX and Windows

GetMIFInteger retrieves the value of a specific Integer attribute from a MIF file.

Function format:

GetMIFInteger(Filename as string, GroupName as string, AttrName as string) as integer

GetMIFInteger(Filename as string, GroupID as integer, AttrID as integer) as integer

GetMIFInteger(Filename as string, GroupName as string, GroupID as integer, AttrName as string, AttrID as integer) as integer

Filename

File name of the MIF file.

GroupName

Specifies the name of the group in which the attribute is located.

GroupID

Specifies the ID of the group in which the attribute is located.

AttrName

Specifies the name of the attribute to retrieve the value from.

AttrID

Specifies the ID of the attribute to retrieve the value from.

If the attribute specified is found in the MIF file, GetMIFInteger returns the value of the Integer attribute; otherwise, 0 is returned.

Example:

The following is an example of the GetMIFComponent, GetMIFInteger, GetMIFString, GetMIFValue, and SetMIFValue functions.

Dim file, gname, aname as string
Dim gid as integer

ClrScr()
file = "h:\test\miffus\file.mif"

Print("Component of """ + file + """: """ + GetMIFComponent(file) + """")

gname = "Strings"
gId = 1
aname = "string_1"
Print(gname + "." + aname + " = " + GetMIFString(file, gname, gId, aname, 1))
aname = "string_2"
Print(gname + "." + aname + " = " + GetMIFValue(file, gname, gId, aname, 2))

if SetMIFValue(file, gname, gId, aname, 2, "Text_new") then
	Print(gname + "." + aname + " = " + GetMIFValue(file, gname, gId, aname, 2))
else
	Print("1. SetMIFValue failed.")
	exit
endif

gname = "Numbers"
gId = 2
aname = "number_1"
Print(gname + "." + aname + " = " + Str(GetMIFInteger(file, gname, gId, aname, 1)))
aname = "number_2"
Print(gname + "." + aname + " = " + GetMIFValue(file, gname, gId, aname, 2))
if SetMIFValue(file, gname, gId, aname, 2, "999999") then

Print(gname + "." + aname + " = " + GetMIFValue(file, gname, gId, aname, 2))
else
	Print("2. SetMIFValue failed.")
	exit
endif
