PointList

(VTScada-Layer function. Must be called with a leading backslash.)

Returns:	Array
Usage:	Script Only.
Function Groups:	Basic Module
Related to:	GetTagList | ListVars
Format:	\PointList(TagType[,  SearchString, NoFilterSimulation])
Parameters:

TagType

SearchString

An optional text expression. The search will be limited to tags with matching names. May include wildcards. The default is "*" (any name).

This utility function reduces the effort required to obtain a list of tags of a particular type or group membership. If no matching tags are found, the first element of the array will be Invalid.

 Stations =  \PointList("LiftstationDrivers", "*", 0);
 NStations = ArraySize(Stations, 0);
