identify_value()

Returns a single string representing the value(s) of any valid AEL object. The object can be of any type.

See also: Database Overview.

Syntax:

identify_value(object);

where

object is any AEL object. The object can be of any type (such as list, handle, or variable), including complex lists (that is, lists containing other lists). List objects are enclosed in brackets [ ]. For non-printable objects, prints the name (such as handles).

Example:

// Shows 2 in an information dialog box
de_info(identify_value(2));
// Shows list ("a", "b", list(1,2.22,"c")) in an information dialog box
decl myList = list ("a", "b", list(1,2.22,"c"));
de_info(identify_value(myList));
// Sets myString to "12.3"
decl myString = identify_value(12.3);
de_info(identify_value(myString));
// Shows <WinInst> in an information dialog box
// Window instances are not printable,
// so this just shows that it's not NULL.
de_info(api_get_current_window());
