select_data

function select_data([io_object], [count=variable], _EXTRA=_EXTRA)

Select data from the given io object and return the array of matching indices. Currently, the selection criteria are passed directly to the io class's get_index function via the _EXTRA parameter. Eventually, a more specific detailed interface will be found here. See the line index's search_index or continuum index's search_index for the full set of parameters that are available.

Returns

an array of indicies. Returns a value of -1 if no match was found.
