anScript

Variable operations

Variable name musn’t contain any anScript operator (.+-*/%=,()[]). Variable can be global or local and constans (or non constans). Global variable can be accessed from anywhere, and local ony between variableCreateLocal(a, value) and variableDeleteLocal(a) instructions.

---

variableCreate(&var new, var b)

Create variable new and assign b to new.

---

variableCreateLocal(&var a, var b)

Create local variable a and assign b to a.

---

variableDeleteLocal(&var a, ...)

Delete local variable a and ..., a and ... return to their previous value.

---

variableAssign(&var a, var b)

Assign b to a.

---

variableSwap(&var a, &var b)

Swap a and b.

---

variableToIntegerNumber(&var a, ...)

Change a and ... to supertype var.i.

Possible conversions:

• from var.f
• from var.s

---

variableToFloatNumber(&var a, ...)

Change a and ... to supertype var.f.

Possible conversions:

• from var.i
• from var.s

---

variableToCharArray(&var a, ...)

Change a and ... to supertype var.s.

Possible conversions:

• from var.i
• from var.f
• from var[]

---

variableToVariableArray(&var a, ...)

Change a and ... to supertype var[].

Possible conversions:

• from var.i
• from var.f
• from var.s

Example 1:

• before a (supertype: var.s value: abc)
• after a (supertype: var[] value: {(supertype: var.s value: a)(supertype: var.s value: b)(supertype: var.s value: c)}))

Example 2:

• before a (supertype: var.i value: 123)
• after a (supertype: var[] value: {(supertype: var.i value: 123)}))

---

variableCharArray_toSpace(&var a.s)

obsolete, use <s> preparator command instead

Change all ‘_’ characters in a to ‘ ‘ (space).

---

variableMakeConstans(&var a)

Make con constans.

---

variableFromText(&var a, text)

Assign text as var.s to a.

---

variableReadFromCharArray(&var a, var.s key)

obsolete, use [var.s key] operator instead

Assign value of variable named as key’s value to a.

---

variableWriteToCharArray(var a, var.s key)

obsolete, use [var.s key] operator instead

Assign value of a to variable named as key’s value and create sych variable if it doesn’t exist.

Examples:

How to use variableCreateLocal

variableCreate(a, -7.i)
/Now a has value -7
variableCreateLocal(a, 3.14.f)
/Now a has value 3.14
yourInstruction(a)
/in yourInstruction first argument has value 3.14
variableDeleteLocal(a)
/Now a has value -7 again

How to use variableCreateLocal continuation

variableCreateLocal(a, hello.s)
/Now a has value hello
variableDeleteLocal(a)
/Now a has value var (it exists, but nothing is assigned)

variableToCharArray usage

variableCreate(tab, {1.i; hello.s; 3.14.f})
tab.variableToCharArray()
consolePrint(tab)
