PB_CONTACT_GETADDRESSINDEX_BYTYPE ReturnInt, ListString, SepString, CompareInt, InstanceInt

Finds an address type that matches a value in the list of strings (ListString where each item in the list is separated by the first character of SepString).

InstanceInt: if <= 1 then it finds the first match, otherwise it finds the InstanceInt match.

ReturnInt: Returns -1 if a match is not found, otherwise it returns the index (zero based) of the found address.

CompareInt: This defines how to compare the type with each item in the list. All compares are case-insensitive.

• • • 0: The type exactly matches an item in the list (case-insenstive)
    • 1: The type starts with an item in the list (case-insensitive)
    • 2: The type contains an item in the list (case-insensitive)
    • 3: The type ends with an item in the list (case-insensitive)

PB_CONTACT_GETPHONEINDEX_BYTYPE ReturnInt, ListString, SepString, CompareInt, InstanceInt

InstanceInt: if <= 1 then it finds the first match, otherwise it finds the InstanceInt match.

ReturnInt: Returns -1 if a match is not found, otherwise it returns the index (zero based) of the found phone number.

CompareInt: This defines how to compare the type with each item in the list. All compares are case-insensitive.

• • • 0: The type exactly matches an item in the list (case-insenstive)
    • 1: The type starts with an item in the list (case-insensitive)
