List of Storage Keys in Script

[Patrick]

Is there a simple way to get a list of all my storage keys from within my script?

I'm storing some settings in JSON in the form "id:<id>" and I'd like to get a list of all the ids that have been created so far.

I know that I could either store a parallel JSON list with all my IDs or even just store everything in one big JSON object, but then I run into atomicity issues, so if there a way that doesn't need leases I'd prefer that.

Sadly, no. For mostly accidental reasons, the storage system doesn't support anything but setting a key or getting a key.

Alright, thanks. I ended up switching to using just a couple JSON strings for everything. It actually ended up making things easier, even with having to add mutexes.

Out of curiosity, how is it possible for the web UI to list all my storage items, but a script can't?

We're willing to take the performance hit in the UI to enumerate keys, but we don't want scripts doing that.
