-
- // PART1 /// SIMPLE ASCII METAS ////////////////////////////
-
- // create an ascii meta
- seta hello "Hello World!"
-
- // Just print hello
- writeln "hello"
-
- // Print value of meta 'hello'
- // (this is't an environment meta!)
- writeln "%hello%"
- writeln "Hi you! %hello%"
-
- // convert to uppercase
- upper hello
-
-
- // PART2 /// SIMPLE NUMERIC METAS ///////////////////////////
-
- // create a numeric meta
- setn num1 27
-
- // do a little calculation
- sub num1 2
- div num1 5
- add num1 3
- mod num1 6
-
- // show result
- writeln "OS/%num1%"
-
- // PART3 /// INDIRECT METAS //////////////////////////////////////
-
- // set up a normal meta
- seta first "HELLO"
-
- // set up a meta that contains the value of another meta
- // second will contain the string '%first%'
- // third will contain the string 'HELLO'
- seta second "%%first%%"
- seta third "%first%"
-
- // change the value of first
- seta first "HI"
-
- // third still contains HELLO, since it was assigned directly
- // second still contains %first% and evaluates to the current
- // value of first
- writeln "first=%first%"
- writeln "second=%second%"
- writeln "third=%third%"
