Whoa! Those strings, at least for this particular system, are within the
function help strings. They are delimited from the main function and from each
other by space slash space. Then the "parameter", then a colon, a space, then
the "parameter description". For some functions, there is also "Return value:".
Possibly this is just the unique way Adobe chose to do it, and I was misled by
the application's documentation?
h.get_object_description("fh") (where h turns out to qualify as "Objects")
returns:
get property: _NewEnum
get property: Count; The number of Objects;
function: Add; Add an object to the collection / Object: The object to add /
Index: Before this index as Long;
function: Remove; Remove an object from the collection / Index: The index of
the object to remove;
function: ItemByID; Returns the Object with the specified ID / Return value:
The specified Object / ID: The ID of the desired Object;
get property: Item; Returns the Object with the specified index or name as
Long or String;
function: ItemByRange; Returns the Objects within the specified range / Return
value: The specified Objects / From: The Object or the index or name of the
Object at the beginning of the range as Object, Long or String / To: The Object
or the index or name of the Object at the end of the range as Object, Long or
String;
function: FirstItem; Returns the first Object / Return value: The specified
Object;
function: LastItem; Returns the last Object / Return value: The specified
Object;
function: MiddleItem; Returns the middle Object / Return value: The specified
Object;
function: PreviousItem; Returns the previous Object / Return value: The
specified Object / Obj: The Object after the one desired;
function: NextItem; Returns the next Object / Return value: The specified
Object / Obj: The Object before the one desired;
function: AnyItem; Returns any Object / Return value: The Object;
