IDLitTool::GetFileReader

The IDLitTool::GetFileReader function method retrieves a file reader registered with the iTool object. If the requested item does not exist in the given iTool, the system will be queried to see if it supports an object of the given identifier.

Syntax

Result = Obj->[IDLitTool::]GetFileReaders(Identifier [, /ALL] [, COUNT=variable])

Return Value

Returns the object descriptors constructed for the registered file reader.

If the ALL keyword is set, the Identifier argument is ignored and the resulting list of object descriptors will be both those registered with the specific iTool and those file readers registered with the system.

Arguments

Identifier

A string representing the single level identifier of the item that is being requested. This identifier is the value provided during object registration and is either supplied using the IDENTIFIER keyword during registration, or constructed automatically by the name that is provided during the registration call.

Keywords

ALL

Set this keyword to return all file readers registered with the iTool and the system.

COUNT

Set this keyword to a named variable that will contain the number of object descriptors returned by this method.
