Getting a list size?

sausage

Is it possible to get a list size? For example, if I had a list of strings and wanted to know for a loop how many to iterate over, eg:

[AllMyLists]
MyList = F #T #T #OBR #S #S #R #L #S #S

orxConfig_SelectSection("AllMyLists");  
orxConfig_PushSection("AllMyLists"); 

for (int x=0; x<10; x++){
	const orxSTRING item = orxConfig_GetListString("MyList ", x);
}

I'd like to replace the 10 with a call.

orxConfig_GetListCounter("MyList");

PS: You don't need the orxConfig_SelectSection() as you're pushing it anyway.

Ah that's perfect thank you. I skipped over that function due to the description:

orxDLLAPI orxS32 orxFASTCALL orxConfig_GetListCounter ( const orxSTRING _zKey )

Gets list counter for a given key

Parameters:
[in] _zKey Key name

Returns:
List counter if it's a valid list, 0 otherwise

That read to me that it was some kind of counter or iterator rather than a total or list count.

I'd suggest rewording to something like:

orxDLLAPI orxS32 orxFASTCALL orxConfig_GetListCounter ( const orxSTRING _zKey )

Gets a total list count for a given key

Parameters:
[in] _zKey Key name

Returns:
The total count if it's a valid list, 0 otherwise

Though it may have been perfectly obvious to others.

Sure, sounds good to me. Want to do the change yourself and create a pull request?

Yep I'll organise that. Once I get hg sorted out. My pull from bit bucket has been a bit of a disaster.
