nxa.GetItemIdsRegex (deprecated)
Description
This function returns a list of item IDs matching the provided criteria.
This function returns an array which starts with index 0. Since LUA arrays are normally starting with index 1, typical LUA array functions like looping through the array (“for index, itemId in pairs(itemIds) do”) and getting the size of the array (“table.getn(itemIds)”) will not work. Please use the function https://netxautomation.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PLATFORM/pages/1544552449 instead.
