I think it would be convenient to be able to access hash table names with the use of a wildcard, similar to what you can do with sockets, like $sock(<wildcarded string>,N).

Of course, because $hget already has another meaning in that syntax, another syntax would have to be used, perhaps $hget(<wildcarded string>,N).col or whatever Khaled may find appropriate.

This suggestion is handy for example when you have hash tables from a certain collection that belong together. Fex:

prefix_htb_<value>

With this new feature, I'd be able to loop through all hash tables starting with prefix_htb_*, without having to loop through all hash tables loaded, with $hget(<index>) and do an iswm check, as is currently the only way to go.


Gone.
