Table method: getfield

 <tabobj> "getfield" field [format]

• <tabobj> is the name of a PinK table object,
• getfield is the name of the applied method.
• The field parameter specifies the field which should be read out. This name may contain an one dimensional index.
• format specifies the format of the returnvalue of getfield. If this parameter is omitted, the PinK default format is used. If "DEFAULT" is submitted, the default ADAMO format defined with setformat is used. In any other case, the format is interpreted as a C format string, that should contain exactly one format element that corresponds with the type of field.
  Important Note: The maximum result length is limited to 256 characters. If you exceed this length or if more than one format element or one of the wrong type is given, PinK may get corrupted and show some strange behaviour.

• Return value: The value of the requested field.
