  const TypeName: STRPTR

):STRPTR;

Arguments

ToolTypeArray

  

A Pointer to an array of tool types.

TypeName

  

The name of the tooltype entry

Description

This function searches a tool type array for a given entry, and returns a pointer to that entry. This is useful for finding standard tool type variables. The returned value is not a new copy of the string but is only a pointer to the part of the string after TypeName.

The ToolTypeArray can be get from TDiskObject.do_Tooltypes via GetDiskObject()

Example:

//Assume the tool type array has two strings in it:
//    "FILETYPE=text"
//    "TEMPDIR=:t"
FindToolType(toolTypeArray, 'FILETYPE'); // returns 'text'
FindToolType(toolTypeArray, 'filetype'); // returns 'text'
FindToolType(toolTypeArray, 'TEMPDIR');  // returns ':t'
FindToolType(toolTypeArray, 'MAXSIZE');  // returns nil
FindToolType(toolTypeArray, 'text');     // returns nil
FindToolType(toolTypeArray, ':t');       // returns nil
