Metadata "class/object"

[saahg]

Hi All

I am a seasoned VB.net programmer but this is my first exposure to the VBScript paradigm. My client has a need to modify workflows for the ScanShare application which uses VBScript to perform certain types of OCR document parsing, i.e. checking for the existence of certain "character collections" in the documents. The first line of code in the script (workflows) I need to update is: ocrText = Metadata.Values("OCRTEXT"). There is no Dim statement in the script regarding the variable ocrText - I am assuming it must be string. I have been unsuccessful in trying to find documentation on this "class" or "object" thus far especially its argument - "OCRTEXT" and the "Values" method (if that is what it is?). I have a fairly good grasp of what "metadata" is but I am drawing blanks with regards to the semantics of this line of code. If someone could direct me to a documentation source that would explain this "metadata" class/object I would greatly appreciate it.

Respectfully,
saagh

Hunt down where Metadata is declared or assigned. That's your starting point.

Thanks strongm. That tells me this is not a known system "library" object but a user defined object. it is not "visible" anywhere in the script that I am looking at. I will have to dig into ScanShare and see if there is a library repository somewhere in the labyrinth. Again thanks for your help.

Respectfully,

The Metadata object is provided by Scanshare, and should be covered in their documentation.
