table.copyContents
| Syntax |
table.copyContents (addr1, addr2)
|
| Params |
addr1 is the Object Database address of the table containing the information to be copied. addr2 is the Object Database address of the table to which the contents of the table at addr1 are to be copied.
|
| Action |
Copies everything in table addr1 to the table at addr2.
|
| Returns |
True
|
| Examples |
The examples table contains a table called table1 with four entries: a string, a number, a script, and an outline. It also has an empty table called table2. The following line copies the contents of table1 into table2, replacing any object in table2 with a name identical to an object in table1. table.copyContents(@examples.table1, @examples.table2) » true
Examine examples.table2 and you'll see that it now has the four items that were originally in examples.table1 (and which, of course, remain in their original place as well). |
| Errors |
If addr1 and addr2 are not both valid table addresses, an error is generated.
|
| Notes |
This verb differs from table.copy in that it expects both addr1 and addr2 to be the addresses of tables. table.copyContents is implemented as a Frontier script, so you can examine its logic.
