AutoShell Functions

This section details the AutoShell core functions. Functions define a set of processing instructions that receive a number of zero or more arguments and return no or exactly one value. Function arguments are passed in parenthesis and must comply with JavaScript language syntax. Literal strings must be placed in quotes and special characters inside the string like backslashes must be escaped.

Example

// Concatenate s n times
function repeat(s,n)
{
    var i;
    var ret="";
    for(i=0; i < n; i++)
        ret += s;
    return(ret);
}
? repeat("*", 10);
? repeat("\\", 25);
