Store Functions

Finding Soups

store:GetSoup(soupName)

This method gets the soup named soupName from store. If no such soup exists, the method returns nil.

Here are two examples of how you would use it. The first example returns the "Names" soup on the Newton, and the second returns nil because no soup exists:

internal := GetStores()[0];

aSoup := internal:GetSoup("Names");
Print(aSoup);
{_Parent: {#3B5FE9}, 
 _proto: {#4408E91}, 
 tStore: 17853709, 
 storeObj: {#4403981}, 
 theName: "Names", 
 cache: [#440B4D9], 
 cursors: [#440B149]}
aSoup := internal:GetSoup("Dinglehopper");
Print(aSoup);
NIL
