Legacy scripting language

Scripts written in the legacy scripting language represent a single or composite expression from the built-in and custom functions. By using a Function action within a test, you can enter an expression that refers to a specific function by name (built-in or custom). These expressions can be used in the Function or Decision action types, and within individual message fields to provide dynamic content. More complex expressions can refer to several functions by using a nested bracket syntax, which is familiar to programmers, for example: eq(5,abs(5.2)), which is the same as eq(5,5.2) and evaluates to "false."

• Project custom functions are available to all users of a project. If a project is cloned, the same files and functions from the original project is available in the cloned project.

• Function names are case-sensitive.

• You can use the result of one function as the input to another. For example, the result of an XPath query can be used as a comparison against the result of a database query.

• When you are using functions, any string objects must be enclosed in straight quotes (for example, "My text").

• Strings that are passed to functions can be enclosed in quotation marks. Strings that are not enclosed in quotation marks cannot contain spaces or internal quotation marks. However, you can create tags to represent quotation marks or spaces and use them in unquoted strings, as in the following example:

  <img%%space%%src=%%quote%%picture.jpg%%quote%%%%space%%\>

  The function receives this string in the following form:

  <img src="picture.jpg" \>
