getitems

getitems(1F)							   FMLI Commands						      getitems(1F)

NAME

       getitems - returns a list of currently marked menu items

SYNOPSIS

       getitems [delimiter_string]

DESCRIPTION

       The  getitems  function returns the value of lininfo if defined, else it returns the value of the name descriptor, for all currently marked
       menu items. Each value in the list is delimited by delimiter_string. The default value of delimiter_string is newline.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: A sample output of getitems command.

       The done descriptor in the following menu definition file executes getitems when the user presses  ENTER (note that the	menu  is  multise-
       lect):

       Menu="Example"
       multiselect=TRUE
       done=`getitems ":" | message`
       name="Item 1"
       action=`message "You selected item 1"`
       name="Item 2"
       lininfo="This is item 2"
       action=`message "You selected item 2"`
       name="Item 3"
       action=`message "You selected item 3"`

       If a user marked all three items in this menu, pressing	ENTER would cause the following string to be displayed on the message line:

       Item 1:This is item 2:Item 3

NOTES

       Because lininfo is defined for the second menu item, its value is displayed instead of the value of the name descriptor.
