# aciObjectGetTagValueWithDefault

Call the `aciObjectGetTagValue` function to obtain the value associated with the first occurrence of a tag.

## Syntax

    aciError aciObjectGetTagValueWithDefault (
       t_aciObject* pObject,
       char* szTagName,
       char** pszTagValue,
       char* szDefault)

## Arguments

Arguments | Type/Description
--- | ---
`pObject` | `t_aciObject*` A pointer to an `ACI_DATA` type object.
`szTag` | `char*` A pointer to the requested tag.
`pszTagValue` | `char**` The contents associated with the tag.
`szDefault` | `char*` A pointer to the default string.

## Discussion

This function finds the first occurrence of the specified `szTagName`, extracts its character value and sets the pointer `pszTagValue` to the memory space (allocated by this function) where it stores the character value. If there is no tag with the specified name or if that tag does not contain character data, `pszTagValue` points to the `szDefault` string.

## Returns

An ACI error code.
