The name of the script to be created
Details
The file path may be absolute or relative to the current working directory. The root folder of the USB flash drive
has the absolute path "/usb1/". Both the forward slash (/) and backslash (\) are supported as directory
separators.
The file to be loaded must start with the loadscript or loadandrunscript keywords, contain the body of the
script, and end with the endscript keyword.
Script naming:
• If the name parameter is an empty string, or name is absent (or nil) and the script name cannot be
extracted from the file, scriptVar is the only handle to the created script.
• If name is given (and not nil), any script name embedded in the file is ignored.
• If name conflicts with the name of an existing script in the script.user.scripts table, the existing
script’s name attribute is set to an empty string before it is replaced in the script.user.scripts
table by the new script.
• If name is absent or nil, the command attempts to extract the name of the script from the file. Any
conflict between the extracted name and that of an existing script in the scripts table generates an error.
If the script name cannot be extracted, the created script's name attribute is initialized to the empty
string, and must be set to a valid nonempty string before saving the script to nonvolatile memory.
Example
myTest8 =
script.load("/usb1/filename.tsp",
"myTest8")
Loads the script myTest8 from the USB flash
drive.
