NAME

match_keys - Return target:value for keys that match the specified pattern

SYNOPSIS

strtbl
match_keys( pattern, domain )

DESCRIPTION

This function can be used to retrieve multiple domain:value entries where domain:key=value matches for some specific pattern for key (where % is used as wildcard, SQL style). The optional domain argument can be set to KEY_CONFIG or to KEY_TARGET but defaults to the appl- specific key-value store.

EXAMPLE

function match_keys0()


      for i,v in ipairs(match_keys("%", KEY_CONFIG)) do


            print(i, v);


      end


      for i,v in ipairs(match_keys("%")) do


            local pos, stop = string.find(v, "=", 1);


            local key = string.sub(v, 1, pos - 1);


            local val = string.sub(v, stop + 1);


            print(key, val);


      end
end
