GetResourceName

This function gets the name of the specified resource.

ADDED/UPDATED IN VERSION 1.6.0 r22592:

Specifying the resource parameter is not mandatory now, in this case this resource is used as a basis

[[{{{image}}}|link=|]]	Note: Every resource has a predefined global variable called resourceName whose value is the name of that resource.

[[{{{image}}}|link=|]]	Note: If you want to access the name of any resource-data you should use getElementID.

Syntax
