dbGet and playing with the database

jkang

dbGet and other database operations seem like they would be very powerful tools. I'm surprised there isn't more reference material on sourcelink for how to use them. I'm slowly traversing through it using trial and error and the appendix in the Encounter Text Command Reference but I'm wondering if there are any articles out there that might be a better tutorial for working with the database inside of Encounter.

    Hi Jonathan,

    It's not pretty, but this is the best I could come up with:

     

    windowSelect 0 490 4000 4000 -->whatever search box you want; this will select everything in the box

    set my_rows [dbGet -p selected.objType row] --> filters out just the rows from what was selected; need -p to get the db pointer for further processing

    dbGet $my_rows.box --> returns all the row bounding boxes

     

    I'm curious to see some other solutions!
