[NTG-context] utiliydata

[Thomas A. Schmitz]

Hi all,

I’m slightly embarrassed because this should be easy, but I can’t figure out how to do this: in the tuc/tua file, I have the complete references of my document. How can I access it from within my Lua code? For instance, something like 

utilitydata.structures.references.collected.”MyReference”.references.realpage

How can this be accessed?

Thanks a lot and best wishes

Thomas

grep for "job." (i bet you can figure it out and compensate the 
embaressment that way)

Nope, very sorry, can’t figure it out… I see job.register, I see I can access structures.refrences.collected, but what about the next level

utilitydata.structures.references.collected={
 [""]={
  [“REF"]={

What does the empty key do? And how do I retrieve the value of

REF.references.realpage?

Sigh, as always: just when I had hit “send,” I figured it out:

structures.references.collected[""][REF].references.realpage

But I’m not sure if there is an easier/better way. And I still would like to know what the empty string as key does.

it's the prefix (namespace) which here is empty (easier to use "" as key 
than have some exception)
