# SBElementArray

SBElementArray is subclass of NSMutableArray that manages collections of related SBObject objects. For example, when you ask the Finder for a list of disks, or ask iTunes for a list of playlists, you get the result back as an SBElementArray containing Scripting Bridge objects representing those items.

## Declaration

```swift
class SBElementArray
```

## Overview

Overview SBElementArray defines methods beyond those of NSArray for obtaining individual objects. In addition to object(at:), SBElementArray also defines object(withName:), object(withID:), and object(atLocation:). Subclassing Notes The SBElementArray class is not designed for subclassing.

## Topics

### Getting Objects in the Array

- [object(withName:)](scriptingbridge/sbelementarray/object(withname:).md)
- [object(withID:)](scriptingbridge/sbelementarray/object(withid:).md)
- [object(atLocation:)](scriptingbridge/sbelementarray/object(atlocation:).md)

### Getting the Referenced Array

- [get()](scriptingbridge/sbelementarray/get().md)

### Filtering an Element Array

- [array(byApplying:)](scriptingbridge/sbelementarray/array(byapplying:).md)
- [array(byApplying:with:)](scriptingbridge/sbelementarray/array(byapplying:with:).md)
