Find all user-defined structure definitions [message #85391]

Hi,
I realize that one can find all the structure definitions using help:

HELP, /STRUCTURES

However, I get 469 element string array out (with the output keyword) after a .reset_session. I then have to search through for my structure. This looks ugly to me.

Is there an easier way to know if a structure has been defined already?
If I use Tag_Names() or N_Tags(), I get an error if it has not been defined.

So far my solution looks like:

Help, /Structures, Output=HelpOut
Index=Where(StrPos(HelpOut,'MYSTRUCTURE') GE 0, Count)
IF Count EQ 0 THEN print, 'create structure'

Regards,
Helder
