Retrieving row data after filtering JQuery Datatables

Question

Seems like it should be easy but...

The easiest way to do this is actually built right in to the DataTables API:

_('tr', {"filter": "applied"})

Used in a Function:

function get_filtered_datatable() {
    var filteredrows = $("#mydatatable").dataTable()._('tr', {"filter": "applied"});

    for ( var i = 0; i < filteredrows.length; i++ ) {
        debug.console(filteredrows[i]);
    };
}
