The SCRIPT command is used to execute sequences of commands that are stored in a script file. If SCRIPT is typed in at the keyboard "file_name" can contain any extension. If no extension is given the program automatically uses ".SCR".
Examples
SCRIPT NOFILL | executes NOFILL.SCR |
SCRIPT MYSCR. | executes MYSCR (no Suffix) |
SCRIPT MYSCR.OLD | executes MYSCR.OLD |
Please refer to the EXPORT command for different possibilities of script files.
If the SCRIPT command is selected with the mouse, a popup menu will show all of the files which have the extension ".SCR" so that they can be selected and executed.
The SCRIPT command provides the ability to customize the program according to your own wishes. For instance:
SCRIPT files contain one or more commands in every line according to the syntax rules. Only the MENU command can make it necessary to use more than one line. In this case please note that every opening apostrophe must have a counterpart (closing apostrophe) in the same line. The character "\" at the end of a command line ensures that the first word of the next line is not interpreted as a command. This feature allows you to avoid apostrophes in many cases.
Interrupt Script Files
The execution of a script file can be interrupted with Ctrl-Break.
