The EvVariablesCollection object allows you access to the set of variables in an EV file. A variable is an item in the EvVariablesCollection, which is accessed via the:

  • EvFile.Variables[] property that lists all variables in an EV file and is an EvVariablesCollection.
  • EvFileset.Variables[] property that lists all raw variables in a fileset in an EV file and is an EvVariablesCollection.

The EvVariableBase object gives access to specific information and modifications for a variable.

EvVariablesCollection methods and properties:

Count
FindByName

Item

 

Description

Count

(read-only) integer Count

Summary

Get the number of variables in this collection.

FindByName

FindByName(string Name)

Summary

Searches for a variable by its name, and if found returns the EvVariableBase object for it.

Parameters
  • Name
  • The name to search for.
Return

If found, the EvVariableBase object for the variable.

Notes:

  • When a variable does not have data, FindByName fails.
  • The FindByName search for names can consider names with or without the name of the fileset.
  • FindByShortName(string Name) is deprecated, because a variable short name is no longer supported. The Return is the same as for FindByName(string Name).

Item

(read-only) Item[]

Summary

Gives access to a specific variable by index. Indexes are zero-based, so valid indexes are from 0 to Count-1. The result is an EvFile object.

Item is the default property for this interface. The examples on the EvFileCollection page show several ways to use the Item property.
