| Including queries in macros : Understanding CQL |
Corel Query Language (CQL) is a simple, object-oriented, extensible language that is used to evaluate expressions. You can use CQL to include queries in macros — for example, to search for objects in a document.
You can query any of the following object types:
• |
Boolean objects — values of True or False that are returned by comparison
operators such as <, >, <>, or =
|
• |
integers — values of -2147483648 to 2147483647
|
• |
double, or floating-point, objects — values of approximately -10^308 to
10^308
|
• |
strings — Unicode text strings that are empty or that contain one or more
characters
|
• |
shapes — Shape objects
|
• |
fills — fill properties of Shape objects
|
• |
outlines — outline properties of Shape objects
|
• |
colors — color properties of Shape objects
|
• |
units of measurement — supported units for measurements such as distance, angle,
and file size
|
• |
arrays — lists of objects of any supported type
|
• |
global objects
|
• |
null objects — nonexistent or missing objects
|
For details on the queries that you can perform on these object types, see Understanding the available query criteria.
