Note:  Advanced scripting feature is available only in ôAdvanced Scripting Editionö of this software.

By advanced scripting we mean support for other, industry standard, languages. Currently, we support Basic Script, VB Script and Java Script. 

Basic Script is Visual Basic for ApplicationÖ compatible language built on top of popular SAX Basic engine.  The Basic Script comes with powerful editor (features syntax highlighting, tool tips), debugger, dialog editor, language reference help and other tools necessary for comfortable scripts development.  Basic Script features more commands then native macro language and allows user to write more complex scripts: use OLE, DDE, create dialogs, use mathematical functions and much more.

As for the VB Script and Java Script, the level of support is limited to execution (there is not a debugger or editor for VB Script and Java Script).

Script can be either ôembeddedö or ôexternalö.  Embedded script is an integral part of macro source code (the embedded script source code is part of the macro source code) while external script is saved in other file.

Embedded script commands:

<script_basic>  Basic Script
<script_vbs>     VB Script
<script_js>       JavaScript

 External script commands:

<script_file> External Script File
