Dictionary

ActionStep Reference » Programming » Dictionary

With Dictionary, you can perform ActionSteps to create a collection of text items using key-value pairs.

Create: Create a dictionary in either the local or global context
Add: Add a key-value pair
Get: Get the value by key
Get At Index: Get the index position key
Contains: Check whether a key is contained in the dictionary
Count: Get the count of all key-value pairs
Iterate: Iterate the key-value pairs
Remove: Remove the first entry with a matching key
Remove At: Remove the dictionary key at the specified position
Clear: Remove all key-value pairs

The use of the Dictionary actions requires that the key of an entry is always unique. Accessing individual elements via the key is much faster for larger data sets than index-based lists that are searched for elements.
