Description
The METHOD GET FOLDERS command returns, in the arrNames array, the names of folders created on the Home page of the 4D Explorer:
Since folder names must be unique, the hierarchy is not returned in this array.
You can limit this list of folders by passing a comparison string in the filter parameter: in this case, only folders whose names match the filter are returned. You can use the @ character in order to specify "starts with", "ends with" or "contains" type filters. If you pass an empty string, the filter parameter is ignored.
If the command is executed from a component, it returns by default the paths of the component methods. If you pass the * parameter, the array contains the paths of the methods of the host database.
