cbdrive.getFileTagAsString(fileName, tagName, [callback])
Callback
The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).
The callback for this method is defined as:
function(err, data){ }
'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.
'data' is the value returned by the method.
'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:
err.code err.message
Remarks
This method retrieves the value of a String-typed file tag, identified by TagName, attached to the vault item (file, directory, or alternate stream) specified by FileName. If there isn't a String-typed file tag with the specified TagName attached to the specified vault item, this method throws an exception.
The value passed for FileName must be a vault-local absolute path. The value passed for TagName may be up to 4095 characters in length (not including the null terminator).
Please refer to the File Tags topic for more information.
This method can only retrieve typed file tags created with the SetFileTagAsString method. Typed file tags created with the SetFileTagAsAnsiString method must be retrieved using the GetFileTagAsAnsiString method.
Note: This method can only be called when Active is true.
