Description of MUSHclient world function: world.GetPluginAliasList

Name	GetPluginAliasList
Type	Method
Summary	Gets the list of aliases in a specified plugin
Prototype	`VARIANT GetPluginAliasList(BSTR PluginID);` View list of data type meanings
Description	Returns an array of all the named aliases currently defined for the nominated plugin. You can then use GetPluginAliasInfo to find out more details about each one. If you want to find the list of aliases in the current plugin, use "GetAliasList". If you are writing a plugin and want to find the "global" MUSHclient alias list, use an empty plugin ID, eg. alList = world.GetPluginAliasList ("") Note: Available in version 3.23 onwards.
VBscript example	`dim alList alList = world.GetPluginAliasList ("982581e59ab42844527eec80") If Not IsEmpty (alList) Then for each a in alList world.note a next End If`
Jscript example	`aliaslist = new VBArray(world.GetPluginAliasList("982581e59ab42844527eec80")).toArray(); if (aliaslist) // if not empty for (i = 0; i < aliaslist.length; i++) world.note(aliaslist [i]);`
PerlScript example	`foreach $item (Win32::OLE::in ($world->GetPluginAliasList ("982581e59ab42844527eec80"))) { $world->note($item); }`
Python example	`aliaslist = world.GetPluginAliasList ("982581e59ab42844527eec80") if (aliaslist): for a in aliaslist : world.Note (a)`
Lua example	`for k, v in pairs (GetPluginAliasList ("982581e59ab42844527eec80")) do Note (v) end`
Returns	`If there are no aliases (with names) then the return value is empty. Use "IsEmpty" to test for this possibility. If the nominated plugin does not exist, then the return value is NULL. Use "IsNull" to test for this possibility. Otherwise, it returns a variant array containing the names of all the aliases in the specified plugin. Use "ubound" to find the number of aliases in the list. You can then use "GetPluginAliasInfo" to find details about each alias.`
Introduced in version	3.23
