Examples

Assuming that you have a Library Token that contained a list of all the items and their detail in your campaign stored as Token properties names with the following format Type:Item Name (for example Weapon:Longsword), you could use the following code to loop through

all the weapons.

[foreach(item, getMatchingLibProperties("Weapon:.*", "Lib:Items")): {
    <!-- Do something really exciting here -->
}]

Or the following to loop through all the armor

[foreach(item, getMatchingLibProperties("Armor:.*", "Lib:Items")): {
    <!-- Do something really exciting here -->
}]

Or even all the armor and all the shields.

[foreach(item, getMatchingLibProperties("(Armor|Shield):.*", "Lib:Items")): {
    <!-- Do something really exciting here -->
}]
