Below is an utility method to get all expressions and their value in a styled text object.

C_TEXT($1;$text) C_POINTER($2;$arrExpressions) C_POINTER($3;$arrExpVals) C_LONGINT($type;$start;$end;$startBlock;$endBlock) C_TEXT($expression;$expVal) C_BOOLEAN($done) If (Count parameters>=3)    $text:=$1    $arrExpressions:=$2    $arrExpVals:=$3    $done:=False    $start:=ST Start text    $end:=ST End text    While (Not($done))       $type:=ST Get content type($text;$start;$end;$startBlock;$endBlock)       If ($type=ST Expression type)          $expression:=ST Get expression($text;$startBlock;$endBlock)          $expVal:=ST Get text($text;$startBlock;$endBlock)          $expVal:=ST Get plain text($expVal;ST 4D Expressions as values)          APPEND TO ARRAY($arrExpVals->;$expVal)          APPEND TO ARRAY($arrExpressions->;$expression)       End if       $start:=$endBlock       $end:=$endBlock+1       If ($startBlock>=$endBlock)          $done:=True       End if    End while End if

Example:

The following text below has several expressions inserted into it.

12/04/15 08:58:16 Dear Mr. Ford, My name is Joe Smith... Kind Regards, Joe Smith Investment Specialist

The expressions are shown below:

Current date Current time Dear [Contact]Salutation, My name is <>YourName_t... Kind Regards, <>YourName_t <>YourTitle_t

Running the following code will return the expressions and values into two arrays:

ARRAY TEXT($arrExpressions;0) //array to contain expressions ARRAY TEXT($arrExpVals;0) ST_GET_EXPRESSIONS (vText;->$arrExpressions;->$arrExpVals)

The results are shown below:
