Usage
scriptVar
= script.load(
file
)
scriptVar
= script.load(
file
,
name
)
scriptVar
The created script; this is
nil
if an error is encountered
file
The path and file name of the script file to load
name
The name of the script to be created
Details
The file path may be absolute or relative to the current working directory. The root folder of the USB flash drive
has the absolute path "/usb1/". Both the forward slash (/) and backslash (\) are supported as directory
separators.
The file to be loaded must start with the
loadscript
or
loadandrunscript
keywords, contain the body of the
script, and end with the
endscript
keyword.
Script naming:
•
If
the
name
parameter is an empty string, or
name
is absent (or
nil
) and the script name cannot be
extracted from the file,
scriptVar
is the only handle to the created script.
•
If
name
is given (and not
nil
), any script name embedded in the file is ignored.
•
If
name
conflicts with the name of an existing script in the
script.user.scripts
table, the existing
script’s name attribute is set to an empty string before it is replaced in the
script.user.scripts
table by the new script.
•
If
name
is absent or
nil
, the command attempts to extract the name of the script from the file. Any
conflict between the extracted name and that of an existing script in the scripts table generates an error.
If the script name cannot be extracted, the created script's name attribute is initialized to the empty
string, and must be set to a valid nonempty string before saving the script to nonvolatile memory.
Example
myTest8 =
script.load("/usb1/filename.tsp",
"myTest8")
Loads the script myTest8 from the USB flash
drive.
