function getValue(sourcenode, [subpath], [default])
function getValue(nodepath, [default])

Returns the value contained in the specified database nodesource/path parameters. The return value(s) vary depending on the type of the node. If the node does not exist or if the node is a non-value type, then the default values passed in will be returned or nil if no default values are specified.

Parameters

sourcenode   (string (or databasenode))   
A data node identifier path (or a 
A databasenode object ) representing the parent of the target node

subpath   (string)   [optional]
