string string llGetInventoryName(integer type, integer index);
```

- `integer type`: INVENTORY_* type constant of the item.
- `integer index`: Index of the item of that type.

- Returns: `string`

Inventory items are sorted in alphabetical order (not chronological order).

Returns a [string](https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/string) that is the name of the inventory item `number` of **type**. Returns an empty string if no item of the specified type is found in the prim's inventory (or there are less than or equal to `number` items of the type).
