Iterate through tagged names and values

[motivatedgorilla]

I am attempting to iterate through a set of tagged values for a given element however unable to execute the code as it displays the error an object is required. I'm probably doing something wrong however am unsure what

Code: [Select]

var theElement as EA.Element;
var tag as EA.TaggedValue;
theElement = Repository.GetElementByID(52)
for ( var i = 0 ; i < theElement.TaggedValues.Count ; i++ )
 {
            thisTaggedValue = theElement.TaggedValues.GetAt(i);
            If (thisTaggedValue.ElementID == tag.ElementID)
            {
                  Session.Output(tag.Value);
            }
            
 }

tag is declared and used but not given a value, thisTaggedValue is given a value but not declared, and you're missing a ; on line 3.

Can you give me an example of how i can assign a value to tag and what thisTaggedValue should be declared as?

AFAICS you should declare

Code: [Select]

var thisTag as EA.TaggedValue;

Please refer to VBScript / JScript Element Extras Example (Tools->Scripting) in EA to see how tagged values are iterated through.
Code excerpt below

Code: [Select]

           // Add a new tag
            var tags as EA.Collection;
            tags = theElement.TaggedValues;
            
            var newTag as EA.TaggedValue;
            newTag = tags.AddNew( "MyTag", "Number" );
            newTag.Update();
            tags.Refresh();
            
            Session.Output( "    Added new Tag: " + newTag.Name );
            
            newTag = null;
            
            // List all element tag
            for ( var i = 0 ; i < tags.Count ; i++ )
            {
                  var currentTag as EA.TaggedValue;
                  currentTag = tags.GetAt( i );
                  
                  Session.Output( "    Tag Value: " + currentTag.Name );
                  
                  // Delete the tagged value that we just added
                  if ( currentTag.Name == "MyTag" )
                  {
                        tags.DeleteAt( i, false );
                        Session.Output( "    Deleted Tag: " + currentTag.Name );
                  }
            }
