get_folder_value(folder_name, item_id)

Description

returns the value of the named folder for the specific item id.

Examples

get_folder_value("Release",item_id)
This will return the value of the contents in the release folder for the current item.
The item_id will first get the current item item id then use that to determine the value of the folder.

x = get_selected_items()
max = table.maxn(x);
y = {}
for i=1,max do y[i]=get_folder_value("Date Stamp",x[i]) end
To get more than one item at time, for instance to get the values of all selected items in a notepad, first a table of ids needs to be created (x);
The array length needs to be found (max); then
A new array (y) is created with the values of the folder.
