Description

Returns a variant array which is a list of all open worlds.

If more than one world has the same name you may get duplicates - to be able to refer to each world uniquely, use GetWorldIdList.
VBscript example 
for each name in world.GetWorldList
  world.note name
next
Jscript example 
worldlist = new VBArray(world.GetworldList()).toArray();

if (worldlist)  // if not empty
 for (i = 0; i < worldlist.length; i++)
   world.note(worldlist [i]);
PerlScript example 
foreach $item (Win32::OLE::in ($world->GetWorldList))
 {
 $world->note($item);
 }
Python example 
worldlist = world.GetworldList
if (worldlist ):
  for w in worldlist : world.Note (w)
Lua example 
for k, v in pairs (GetWorldList()) do 
  Note (v) 
end
Lua notes 
See the description for GetWorld for more discussion about using "world" variables in Lua.
Returns If there are no worlds then the return value is empty. Use "IsEmpty" to test for this possibility.

Otherwise, it returns a variant array containing the names of all the worlds. Use "ubound" to find the number of worlds in the list. You can then use "GetWorld" to return a reference to that world.
