Description

Use the ColumnByName property to get a column of the table describing the test log data scheme by the column’s name. You can then use the resulting LogColumn object to learn the type of values the column stores.

You can also obtain the desired column by its index using the Column property. To get the total number of columns in the table, use the ColumnCount property.

Declaration

LogTableDataSchemeObj.ColumnByName(AName)

Read-Only Property A LogColumn object

LogTableDataSchemeObj	An expression, variable or parameter that specifies a reference to a LogTableDataScheme object
AName	[in]	Required	String

Applies To

The property is applied to the following object:

LogTableDataScheme

Parameters

The property has the following parameter:

AName

The name of the desired column. This is the same string that you see in the column header of the test log.

Property Value

A LogColumn object corresponding to the desired table column.

Remarks

If you use Python or DelphiScript, you should enclose the parameter of the ColumnByName property in square brackets: ColumnByName[AName].

Example

The code below demonstrates how you can get information about a log column using the LogTableDataScheme object. The Main routine gets the first test log of the current project and calls the GetColumnData routine that checks the type of data the log’s Message column stores.

In order for the code to run successfully, there must be at least one test log in your project.

JavaScript, JScript

function Main()
{
  // Get a collection of project's logs
  var LogsCol = Project.Logs;

  if (LogsCol != null && LogsCol.LogItemsCount > 0)
  {
    // Get the first log item
    var LogItem = LogsCol.LogItem(0);

    // Obtain the first dataset
    // of the specified log item
    var LogData = LogItem.Data(0);

    // Obtain the scheme of the dataset
    var Sch = LogData.Scheme;

    // Obtain information about the "Message" column
    var columnName = "Message";
    GetColumnData(Sch, columnName);
  }
  else
  {
    Log.Message("The current project does not contain any test logs.");
  }

}

function GetColumnData(scheme, columnName)
