Support Statement: gmBasic Script Parameter Replacement

Tip

View original Confluence page: 1575251 | You can disable this by setting debugLink.enabled to false in renderer.config.json.

gmStudio does not currently do parameter replacement in script includes.

However, gmBasic does do parameter replacement on its variables, and there are a lot of these including a handful of variables specifically defined for consistency with gmStudio.

For example, Listing 1 is the set of system attributes that can be set in script Select commands. Once set, the values can be used in include files using the (%= attribute%) notation.

For example, in the main script:

<Select Srcname=”%Srcname%”/ />

and in an include file

<Fix host="(%= SrcName%).gmTraceLogger" name="PostEdit_tracelogger"><br /> <Replace name="rename trace logger file"><br /> <OldBlock><![CDATA[gmTraceLogger_vb6.log]]></OldBlock><br /> <NewBlock><![CDATA[gmTraceLogger_net.log]]></NewBlock><br /> </Replace><br /></Fix>
