anScript

anScript interpreter and IDE special features

Code at runtime

Run anScript interpreter in mode simillar to python interactive session. How to do it?

• Pass CAR as a file name to anScript interpreter.

or

• Choose Code at runtime option in anScript IDE welcome screen.

Example:

langDefines

langDefines is mechanism developed to support global defines (per installation). langDefines.txt is located in the same folder as anScript interpreter. It may be useful to shorten long instructions’ names.

Example:

langDefines.txt

consolePrint print
instructionExecuteInNewThread thread

mySource.ans

print(langDefines_working.s)
thread(print, _and_threads_too.s)

How to use langDefines?

• Manually edit langDefines.txt (require administrator privileges in Windows).

or

• Click Tools > Edit langDefines in anScript IDE (require administrator privileges in Windows).

Library Manager

anScript Library Manager is package manager for anScript (like npm for Node.js).

To upload new file or see uploaded files:

• Visit anscript-download-center.cba.pl/library/

or

• Click Tools > Library Manager > Open in browser.

To download file to {anScript install path}/library:

• Download directly from anscript-download-center.cba.pl/library/

or

• Click Tools > Library Manager (or open anScriptLibraryManagerGUI.exe directly), select library and click Install or update.

or

• Open anScriptLibraryManager.exe and type in filename.

or

• Run nativeExecute(var, anScriptLibraryManager.s, filename.ans.s) (remember you can’t use <include(library/filename.ans)> in the same file with nativeExecute because include as preparator command is processed before nativeExecute). You can use structure such as (both files in the same folder):

dependencies.ans

nativeExecute(var, anScriptLibraryManager.s, firstLib.ans.s)
nativeExecute(var, anScriptLibraryManager.s, secondLib.ans.s)
runtimeRun(<path> script.ans.s)

script.ans

<include(library/firstLib.ans)>
<include(library/secondLib.ans)>
//Rest of script ...
