| Function |
 |
| Syntax: #function {name} {commands} |
|
| The function command is used much like a variable, except that you can pass along arguments. You can execute commands inside a function, and after the function is finished the line that called the function has the function call replaced with whatever the $result variable holds. |
|
| The result variable is also used in the echo command, so you should be careful when using #echo inside a function. You can use a function by calling it with: @<functionname>{<arguments>} the arguments are stored in %0 to %99, with %0 holding all arguments, %1 the first, %2 the second, etc. The arguments are separated by spaces. |
|
Example: #function {time} {#format {epoch} {%T};#format {result} {%t} {$epoch}} |
| The first command of the function will store the number of seconds since 1970 in $epoch. The second command will use this number to store the current time in $result. Using: #showme @time{} will display the current military time, no arguments are used in this example. |
|
| See the scripts section for more complex examples. |
|
| Notice: You can remove functions with the #unfunction command. |
