findEntryByName

Get object by name in Architectural Data section of Simulink data dictionary

Since R2023b

Syntax

entryObj = findEntryByName(archDataObj,entryName)

Description

entryObj = findEntryByName(archDataObj,entryName) returns the object that corresponds to the specified entry name, entryName, in archDataObj, the Architectural Data section of a data dictionary. If the entry does not exist in the data dictionary, an empty value is returned.

Examples

Get Object by Name from Data Dictionary

Get the object representing the structure data type named myStructType1 from the Architectural Data section of the data dictionary MyInterfaces.sldd.

archDataObj = Simulink.dictionary.archdata.open("MyInterfaces.sldd");
structObj = findEntryByName(archDataObj,"myStructType1")

structObj = 

  StructType with properties:

           Name: 'myStructType1'
    Description: ''
       Elements: [0×0 Simulink.dictionary.archdata.StructElement]
          Owner: [1×1 Simulink.dictionary.ArchitecturalData]

Input Arguments

archDataObj — Architectural Data object

Simulink.dictionary.ArchitecturalData object

Architectural Data object, specified as a Simulink.dictionary.ArchitecturalData object.

entryName — Architecture data element name

character vector | string scalar

Architecture data element name, specified as a character vector or a string scalar.

Example: "DataInterface"

Output Arguments

entryObj — Architectural data element object

DataInterface object | ServiceInterface object | PhysicalInterface object | AliasType object | EnumType object | NumericType object | StructType object | ValueType object | Constant object

Architectural data element object, returned as the object type of the corresponding entry in the Architectural Data section. If the specified data element object does not exist an error is thrown.
