Complex Data Types

When the return value of a method call is an object with a complex data type, the object is stored in the variable; member values can be accessed using a period or full stop to separate the member value from the variable name.

For example, if the result of a call is a data structure similar to the following code structure:

public class FileInfo {
    public FileCreds fileCreds;
    public int fileSize;
    public String fileName;
    public String[] fileOwners;
    public byte[] fileData;
} 

public class FileCreds {
    public String userId;
    public String password;
    public String location;
}

and the return variable name is %result%, the following table describes the variables contained in the array:

For an array of complex objects, dereference the array before specifying the field name. For example, for an array of FileInfo structures: %result%[0].fileName would access the fileName field of the first item in the array.
