Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Words and Phrases
| Search for | Example | Results |
|---|---|---|
| A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
|
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Using Boolean Operators
| Search for | Operator | Example |
|---|---|---|
|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
| Either word in a topic |
|
|
| Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
| Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
| A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

RAD function: recordtostring
A RAD function that uses the value of a field from an array and appends that value to a string.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| $string | The string to which the field value is appended. |
| $file | The current file. |
| $arrayofnames | The array from which the field is taken. |
| $sep | A separator character. |
Factors
Event Services uses the caret character (^) as a default separator. You can use the recordtostring function to build an eventout string.
Example
recordtostring("", $file, {"location", "location.name"}, "^")
Where:
The value of $file is a location record in which location=Advantage HQ, and location.name=downtown. After execution, the value of $string will contain Advantage HQ^downtown.
