Documentation

Here is a list of functions and features that SlideScript comes with at this moment!

• Commenting! Examples: Thie simple way of comments! # Comment is real in this one

• Read and writing to flat files. Examples: write "file.txt" "This will be written to file.txt" read "file.txt"

• Delete example: delete "file.txt"

• Execute example: exec "ls -al"

• Print example: print "Hi everyone!"

• Sleep (Zzz) example (sleeps for 2 seconds): sleep 2

• Variable setting variablename=variabledata

• Variable passing

  filename=file.txt -> filename

  filedata=File '%filename%' is being moved to moo -> %filename% is populated as file.txt

  write "%filename%" "%filedata%" -> writes filedata contents to file.txt as expected.
