  • If the delimiter "json" then a json array is returned. (as of MapTool 1.3b49)
  • Otherwise a string list is returned with the delimiter passed in.

Usage

[h: macros = getMacros()]
[h: macros = getMacros(delim)]

delim is the delimiter used to separate the values in the string list which defaults to ',' if not specified.

Examples

To display all of the macro button labels on the current token use.
[h: macroLables = getMacros()]
[foreach(macro, macroLables, "<br>"): macro]
