Lookup Credit

This function is used to test if a specified credit is known by the Combined Credits Editor.

The supplied credit may contain any of the escape sequences described in Escape Sequences.

The function is only executed once per set of files while executing stepwise.

The action test state is set to true if the credit is known, otherwise it is set to false. See the ~ code below for a possible partial match. Three special named variables are also set:
