returns a counter value according to the keyword extracted from the table; maintains count and hcount 

The keywords have the meanings:
	_row_count:			use row counter value (count); the hold counter (hcount) is same as count
	_row_count_hold:	use the value currently assigned to hcount; bump count but do not bump hcount

]]

local function get_count (keyword)
	count = count + 1;															-- always bump the count

	if '_row_count' == keyword then												-- bump hcount, return new count value
		hcount = count;
		return count;
	elseif '_row_count_hold' == keyword then									-- current hcount value without increment
		return hcount;
	end
end


--[[--------------------------< R O W _ C O U N T E R >--------------------------------------------------------

replaces keywords _row_count and _row_count_hold from the table in frame.args[1]
