I mentioned the need for a llLinksetDataFindCountKeys() function as part of https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/BUG-232935 but it is great to have an explicit request.
How would you like the feature to work?
Function syntax:
integer llLinksetDataFindKeysCount(string pattern);
The function is called with a regex (similar to the pattern used in llLinksetDataFindKeys() function).
Return Value: The number of keys found matching the regex pattern.
Why is this feature important to you? How would it benefit the community?
Currently to get a count of keys matching a specific pattern a list must be generated into memory using llLinksetDataFindKeys(string pattern, start, end), and a separate function call to llGetListLength(list name) against the return to to get this value.
If no other manipulation is being done at that time against the list of keys return, that is generally a waste of the memory resources and extra work by the script by calling the extra function to do part of the work.
The overall benefit at large is that this would vastly simplify getting a simple count of matching keys when that is all one is needing at a particular time.
