namecolumn (Database Toolbox)

Map resultset column name to resultset column index

Syntax

```
x = namecolumn(rset, n)
```

Description

x = namecolumn(rset, n) maps a resultset column name n, to its resultset column index, for the resultset rset, where rset was created using resultset, and n is a string or cell array of strings containing the column names. Get the column names for a given cursor using columnnames.

Examples

Type

x  =  namecolumn(rset, {'DNAME';'LOC'})

MATLAB returns

```
x =
     2     3
```

In this example, the resultset object is rset. The column names for which you want the column index are DNAME and LOC. The results show that DNAME is column 2 and LOC is column 3.

To get the index for only the LOC column, type

```
x  =  namecolumn(rset, 'LOC')
```
